About Map Canvas: Draw Shapes On Map
Map Canvas is your Custom Map Annotation & GIS (Geographic Information System) Tool.
It is a location-based custom map annotation app with added task management that transforms Google Maps into your personal canvas. It lets you draw shapes, place custom markers, and add details to them anywhere on the map, turning your device into a powerful field mapping and data management solution. Map Canvas is ideal for city planners, architects, farmers, researchers, outdoor event organizers and anyone who wants to mark areas on their map.
Key Features
- Draw Custom Shapes: Create concentric circles and multi-sided polygons at any location. This is ideal for defining zones, marking boundaries, and planning areas of interest on the map.
- Add Icon Markers: Place custom icon markers or waypoints on any point to highlight landmarks, equipment, or points of interest.
- Rich Element Details: Tap any map element to open a detail view showing its name, description, coordinates, area, and more. You can add notes, tasks and attach images to each element, keeping all relevant information organized in one place.
- Measure Distances: Use the distance measuring tool to calculate distances between multiple points directly on the map — perfect for route estimation, layout planning, or spatial analysis.
- Styling & Visibility: Customize stroke width, fill color, main color, and visibility for each element. This gives you full control over the appearance of your annotations.
- Weather Integration: Retrieve current weather information for any marked location, keeping you informed of conditions at your sites.
- Collections: Organize your shapes and markers into user-defined Collections. Toggle Collections on or off to show or hide all included elements at once for easier map management.
- Map & Theme Customization: Personalize your map appearance with style options (day, night, retro) and map types (normal, terrain, hybrid). Choose the app theme (light or dark), measurement units (imperial or metric), and time format (12h or 24h) to suit your workflow.
- Cloud Backup: Securely back up your map data (up to 200 MB) to the cloud, ensuring that your map elements are safely saved and synced.

nice app, use it to measure rough square area in a real estate application. The original rev of the app gave area in only square miles. Not real convenient for small lots. Contacted the developer Colored Pixels Studio and they got right back to me and increased resolution so I could see smaller square miles. Pretty ...
Simple and effective. Was super useful for my house hunting, as I need to stay within 25 miles of my office due to work-from-office policy. Also use it to plan calculated stops for my evening walks or runs.
Amazing app! It has been very useful for my needs.
very great app! I am so impressed with the developer! I was struggling with the app, he called me personally and helped me out. With in a minute he had me up and going perfectly. Can't thank him enough. Love this app, thank you again Rishi :)
Great app for marking territories on my map. Has a pretty generous free tier. Haven't found anything like it.
The app developer did an outstanding job.
