Support & How To Use

PocketHQ opens directly to your map — a satellite view of your property. Everything you capture lives here as a photo marker pinned to its exact GPS location.

Tap a marker to preview it. Double-tap the marker to open the full detail card. Use two fingers to zoom and pan.

Tap the orange camera button (bottom-right). Your camera opens full-screen. Take the photo — GPS locks automatically while you compose the shot. After capture, Quick Details opens: give it a title, set priority (High / Med / Low), add a field note, then tap SAVE. The marker drops on the map at the GPS location recorded when the photo was taken.

If you need to mark a location without taking a photo — a gate, a boundary point, an issue spotted from a distance — double-tap any empty area on the map. A marker drops at that exact tap point. Quick Details opens immediately so you can document what you found. You can add a photo from your library later via the marker's Media section.

Single tap on a marker shows a quick preview popup — photo thumbnail, title, status, and date.

Double-tap opens the full Marker Card:

• FRONT — Your photo fills the card. GPS coordinates and capture date are stamped on the image. Status and priority chips show the current state at a glance.
• BACK (tap ↻ to flip) — Five sections: STATUS (change active / needs attention / resolved and priority level), MEDIA (all photos for this marker — hold a thumbnail to annotate or flag Before/After), LOCATION & GPS (exact coordinates and zone assignment), and HISTORY (complete event log).

In the Media section of any marker card, hold any photo thumbnail to open the Annotation Toolkit.

Tools (bottom toolbar):

• Arrow — tap to place, drag the endpoint to aim
• Circle — tap and drag to size
• Freehand — draw freely
• Text — tap to place a text label
• SELECT — tap any annotation to select it, then move or delete it
• Undo — removes the last annotation added

Colors — Four color swatches. Tap to switch annotation color. Stroke — toggle between thin and thick line weight.

Reveal Original — Hold anywhere on the canvas to temporarily fade the annotation layer and see the original photo underneath.

Tap SAVE to write the annotation to the marker. The annotated version replaces the photo preview everywhere in the app.

Zones let you organize markers by area — pastures, buildings, trails, perimeters, or any boundary that matters to your operation.

Drawing a zone: Tap the menu (≡) → Zone Drawing. Tap the map to place vertices around the area. A minimum of 3 points closes the polygon. Tap SAVE, give it a name and color.

Editing a zone: In Zone Drawing mode, tap an existing zone to select it, then choose Adjust (drag vertices to reshape) or Move (hold and drag the entire polygon). Tap SAVE after editing.

Assigning a marker to a zone: Drag any marker across the map into a zone boundary — the zone assignment updates automatically. You can also assign from the marker card via Location & GPS → set zone manually.

Every marker has two independent indicators:

Status (the ring around the marker on the map):

Priority (set in Quick Details or the marker card):

Tap MARK RESOLVED (bottom of the marker card back) to close an issue. The status ring on the map updates immediately. You can reopen a resolved marker at any time.

PocketHQ automatically records everything that happens to a marker — no manual logging needed.

Tap the History row on any marker card (back side) to open the full timeline. Events are shown newest-first:

• Marker created — when and where it was placed
• Status changes — every active / needs attention / resolved transition
• Priority changes
• Notes edited
• Photos added or removed
• Annotations saved
• Zone assigned, changed, or removed
• Location moved — with the new GPS coordinates
