How to Use the STALKR Map
The map combines your position, active Crew members, Markers, Zones, Trails, Routes, Checkpoints, and Journeys. Tap an object for details; use the drawer for field actions and Map Layers for rendering controls.
Steps
- Select the intended Crew.
- Tap an object to open its card or details.
- Use the layer button to show or hide visual layers.
- Use the self/recenter control to return to your position.
How this works
Only one authoring tool can own the map at a time. If MARK, ZONES, or Measure is active, the next one refuses to start until the first is cancelled, which is usually why a tap does nothing you expected.
What you see is scoped. Crew members and Crew objects come from the selected Crew, while Tracks, Routes, and personal Checkpoints are yours. Map tiles come from Google and may be cached opportunistically; that is not a downloadable offline map and should not be planned around.
Member trails are drawn from positions a member already published rather than from a recording, so a gap in their sharing is a gap in the line. How far a trail reaches back is set by the plan, not chosen by the viewer.
What happens next
Tapping an object opens its own card, where its scope, settings, and last update are shown.
Common problems
- An active map tool blocks other tools until it is cancelled.
- An absent trail is not evidence a member did not move; they may have been Dark or offline.
