## 1. Overview
### 1.1 Line drawing
This adds the possibility to draw accurate lines on the map screen.
### 1.2 Map tools
This adds map tools that can be used to measure distances between two points or bearings on the map.
### 1.3 GPS on map
If you are equipped with a vanilla GPS it will be shown on the map. (You don't need the map tools in your inventory for this.)
## 2. Usage
### 2.1 Using map tools
- For this you need to have `Map Tools`.
- Open the map <kbd>M</kbd> (Arma 3 default key bind `Map`).
- Press the self interaction key <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>Left Windows</kbd> (ACE3 default key bind `Self Interaction Key`).
- Select `Map tools`.
- Select the type of tools you want to use.
- Note that you can drag the Roamer (map tool) around with <kdd> LMB </kbd> and rotate it with <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>LMB</kbd>.
### 2.2 Drawing lines
- To draw lines `Map Tools` are not required.
- Press <kbd>ALT</kbd> + <kbd>LMB</kbd> to start the line, left click again to end it.
- To delete a line press <kbd>Del</kbd> around the center of the line.
- Note that you can change the color of the lines by clicking on one of the coloured column on top of the screen (While the map is opened)
