Mapping it Out
The ability to share maps with other people is one of the features that users of Ahoy Map Maker are likely to find particularly useful. The best way to do this is to take a screen shot, as unfortunately people who use the dedicated capture feature are likely to find that text and images in the map that they have created can change slightly, which can be a problem.

The special tips that appear on the right of the screen means that Ahoy Map Maker is easy enough even for novices to get to grips with. This is likely to be a real boon for business owners of all types and although the app tends to freeze occasionally it works well enough for most needs.
