User reviews

Finally! Give this man a raise!

In a world of tech villains there’s a man who has decided to be the tech hero. Finally a simple, straightforward GIS app that doesn’t want to suck you dry of your dollars all so some losers can live in their expensive city with their expensive lifestyles while contributing almost nothing to society other being a gutless leach.

Interesting features but I have a bug

Hello. I’m opening a PDF map I created in ArcGIS. It works fine in Avenza and Topo Reader, but the location feature isn’t working in ArkenMap.

The blue pin is in the lower-left corner and isn’t showing my current location.
I’ve checked the settings on my iPhone 16e; location services are enabled for ArkenMap, and precise location is also enabled.

Any suggestions for fixing this issue? Thanks!

FAQ

What is ArkenMap?

ArkenMap is a navigation app that allows you to view georeferenced PDF maps offline and see your real-time GPS location on them. It's designed for users who need to navigate using specialized maps in areas without internet access.

How accurate is ArkenMap's positioning?

Accuracy depends on the PDF's georeferencing, your device's GPS signal, and the app's coordinate system handling. While designed for practical use, minor shifts may occur compared to survey-grade tools due to datum and projection differences.

Does ArkenMap work offline?

Yes, ArkenMap is designed to work offline. Once you import your PDF maps, you can use them to view your location without an internet connection, making it ideal for remote areas.

What types of PDF maps are compatible with ArkenMap?
