How to use workspaces?


Workspaces allow users to have different working environments in one single application. By having their own maps, workspaces are an easy way to work at different locations and with different maps.

Use cases:

  • You're going to Italy for a trip, and need to store maps for various places. When coming back, you want to clear all the data stored for Italy, but you also want to keep the data previously stored for all other areas. Just create a workspace called “Italy”, store all your related data in it, and when coming back, delete it.
  • You use the application at various locations, and for each location often need to switch between different maps. Just create a workspace for each location, and for each workspace add the maps you need and save some of them as favorite maps. You'll be able to change the location by switching the workspace, and maps by switching the favorite set.

Here is the list of items specific to each workspace:

All other items are common to all workspaces.
