# Surveyor Mode Surveyor mode lets you add POIs by walking to each location and dropping a pin at your current GPS position — no need to tap the exact spot on the map. ## When to use it Surveyor mode is ideal when you're physically on-site and want to place POIs accurately. Instead of guessing where a location is on the map image, you walk to it and let your phone's GPS do the positioning. ## How to use it 1. Open the POI editor on your mobile device 2. Enable **Surveyor Mode** using the toggle in the editor toolbar 3. Walk to the location you want to mark 4. Tap **Drop pin here** — a POI will be placed at your current GPS coordinates 5. Fill in the title and other details in the sidebar form, then save ## Tips * Works best outdoors or in spaces with good GPS signal * You can still drag pins to adjust their position after dropping them in surveyor mode --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
