The minimum required data for a spot is the name and description. Attempting to save the spot without completing at least those two fields will result in a validation error shown in red at the bottom of the page and the spot will not allow the save until they have been completed.

The markup is done in a three stages. The first press sets the casting position, the second sets the final rig location. At this point your casting line will be drawn between the two marks. The third press will mark your casting horizon marker.

To restart the markup process, click undo in the top right corner. To save your marked up spot, click save in the top right corner. You can change the colour of your markup lines and indicators in Setttings > App Settings > Spot Marker Colour. You must have a saved swim image before you can add spot markings.
