Using the map tools

The map tools will be used to record your information on weeds for your project. Once identified, weed control can be monitored, assigned for control and record any controls which have been carried out. The map tools can also be used to record relevant features, tracks and work hours.

Click on the "Move features" tool

Now click inside the shape you drew and the outline will turn blue and the cursor will change to a hand

Click anywhere inside the blue outline and drag the shape to where you want it to be

When you are done moving, click the "Move features" tool again and the outline will return to green.

If your drawing has gone wrong and you'd like to start over, you can do this at any time by clicking the "Clear features" tool.
