About the Map View Toolbars

The following discusses the options available on the MapPoint toolbars of the map view window in Aptify. Options are listed as they appear on the toolbar from left to right. Note that this section does not describe the Drawing toolbar since the drawing items added to a map view do not persist when you exit the map view.
