Text Annotations: Label Your Map Fast

2026-02-12Guide

Text Annotations

Text annotations are simple labels you can place on the map. They are great for naming areas ("Camp Zone"), reminders ("Refill Water"), or highlighting parts of a route ("Steep climb").

Create a text annotation

  1. Open a project in the map editor
  2. Choose the Text tool (A icon)
  3. Click on the map where you want the label
  4. Enter your text and confirm

Edit text

  • Select the text label on the map, then click Edit in the info panel
  • Update the content and save

Style

Text annotations support basic styling so labels remain readable on different map backgrounds (for example: color and font size).

Limits

  • Text length is limited to 200 characters
  • On the Free plan, you can create up to 10 text annotations per project

FAQ

Why can't I create more text labels? You may have reached your plan limit for that project.

Can I share text annotations? Yes. Text annotations are included when you share a project.
