On the left side there are a large number of "layers" in groups. A group is expanded to show the layers in it by clicking on the triangle to the left. Each layer can be turned on individually by clicking on it.
A layer contains information about natural, man-made, legal or demographic characteristics that can be laid out on a map. For each layer, there is a stack button on the right to show/hide its legend (the legend is only visible when the layer is visible) and other information about the layer, and a "..." button to allow adjusting the opacity of the layer.
In the bookmark list you can bookmark the current view, give it a name, delete old bookmarks or go to an existing view. Click on the name field to change it. A view includes the center point, the scale, any visible layers and any graphics/text that have been created.
The search box allows zooming to an address.
Click on a drawing toolbar item to begin drawing a new object, then click on the map to place it or start drawing.
After placing a drawing item on the map, it can be selected by clicking on it. Text items can be repositioned but not edited in other ways. Lines, polygons, rectangles and ellipses/circles can be resized, rotated and have their vertices adjusted after selection. When an item is seleted, there is an option in the drawing toolbar to delete it.
Drawing items are only saved in bookmarks. If you do not bookmark your work, it will be gone when you return to the app.
See the overview page of the map for details on each layer.
