Create a map from the camera

You can quickly create a map from a series of photos that you take with your camera. In Camera mode, each photo you take becomes a topic on your map. As you take pictures, you can enter text for each photo-topic, edit it, or discard it. You can create a new map from the camera, or use camera mode to add new photo-topics to an existing map.

To create a new map from the camera:

1. On the title screen top navigation bar, touch the location for the new map: Device, the name of the Mindjet Account, Box or Dropbox.

   Hints:
   If a location you want to use (Mindjet Account, Box, Dropbox, or Device) is not shown, use the Storage Settings to enable access.

2. (Optional) In the Files and Folders list, touch the folder name where you want to create the map.
3. At the top of the screen, touch > New Map from Camera, enter the name for the map, and then touch OK.
4. The map is created with its name as the central topic, and the camera mode begins so you can begin creating photo-topics to add to your map.

To add photo-topics to an existing map:

1. Select a topic on the map. New photo-topics will become either siblings or subtopics of the selected topic.
2. to start Camera mode.

1. If you are creating a new map from the camera, all the photo-topics you create will be added to your map as main (first-level) topics.

    subtopics (level below) of the currently-selected map topic
    siblings (same level) of the currently selected map topic.
   
   You can change this at any time during the camera session. Your choice is not applied until you exit camera mode.
