Save your shot plans

Once you've set pin positions and set the time and date of your shot, it's often worth saving it for future use. You can use the Share button to get a link to your exact shot plan that can be saved, shared and reused in our mobile apps.

Many photographers developing shot plans or researching options choose to save links in a note taking application, such as Evernote. (And if you're using Safari as your browser, you can share directly to any installed application that supports the browser sharing function.)
