Every map can use its own skin.
- How does the notification system work?
You can set a reminder date for each task.
You can decide to receive a reminder, depending on the age of the task.
You must have a network connection (WiFi or 3G) to receive reminders.
When the reminder time arrives, you will receive a notification via the built in iPhone notification system summarizing the name of the map and the task in question.
When you touch the reminder, ToDoMap will open automatically.
N.B. You will not receive reminders when ToDoMap is open.
Whether or not you have requested a reminder, tasks who’s deadline has passed will blink in the Map.- How does the sync option work?
ToDoMap for iPhone and ToDoMap for HD both offer the option to subscribe to the synchronisation service.
This sychronisation is a global synchronisation of each map between all your iOS devices and the Web.
Therefore, you can manage the same set of tasks in all your devices and on the web.
In case of conflicts when you are updating, ToDoMap will ask you which version (mobile or web) you wish to keep.
The web version of ToDoMap has additional functionality that is described below. (See « Web Features Only » below).
Note that the synchronisation option also offers the ability to keep a full backup of your data at each synchronisation time. Backups can be accessed and restored in the web version of ToDoMap.
To discover the new synchronisation feature and to try the extra functionality of the web version of the application, synchronisation is offered free of charge for one month from the date of activation of your account.

- Why two different presentation modes for tasks?
Map mode is the default more for presenting your tasks.
It offers an overview of all your tasks.
The space taken by each task depends on its priority compared to the other tasks in the map.
The colour depends on the category of the task.
Review mode is the second presentation mode. It allows you to review all tasks, one by one.
Drag each task to go to the next – just like looking at a photo gallery.
Review mode does not exist on iPad because it is less important on a larger screen.
A 3D mode is available on the Web in addition to the Map mode (See « Web Features Only » below).

ToDoMap HD on iPad allows you to chang eht size of the text for the titles in a map.

- What are the differences between ToDoMap classic and ToDoMap HD?
The first version of the application, launched in February 2010, was the classic version.
Then the iPad was released, which gave us many more options to improve the application.
So we naturally developed the HD version, while simultaneously making it usable on an iPhone.
ToDoMap HD is designed to run on iPhone and iPad.
So just buy it once for it to be usable in both environments.
ToDoMap HD also has a range of skins that can give each map colors and different tones (Classic, Boys and girls, Lover on the grass, Dear sixties, Red Wine or Chocolate).
On IPad, the size of text displayed in the Map can be set.
Ongoing development will be focused mainly on ToDoMap HD
If you already have the HD version, great! You will receive updates as we release them.
If you do not already have the HD version, upgrading will guarantee you always have the most advanced version and encourages us to further develop the concept.
So ask!- Problem on iPhone 3g or 3gs with OS 4?
Like many applications, ToDoMap is slower on a 3G or 3Gs iPhone with OS 4 than it is on an iPhone 4.
Sorry we can not do anything about it even though we tried all possible ways of optimization.
