Using Advanced Maps

The Advanced Map component makes it easy to put a map in a Buzz. It can display map tiles and vector data loaded from many sources. Data can also be added to the Buzz using editing and tracking capabilities. Should you not have a reliable data connection, it is possible to download geographic data to your mobile device to work in offline mode.
