Circle text

  • None shows no text.
  • Number shows the number in names that include GCB followed by digits, such as GCB12. Other names are shown in full.
  • Count shows the number after the first hyphen in a name, such as 12 for North-12. A name without a hyphen and number shows 0.

These two options suit sites and photopoints named in those ways.

Colours of individual markers

You can also give an individual site or photopoint its own colour in the Covram Field App. See sites and photopoints on the map.
