Great for guided walks

Ideal for guided walks. Downside is I can’t delete overlays, I have to drag them away to a dumping ground

Been looking all over for this!

For example: I have a paper map with local cal cross country trails on it. I can now take a pic of this map and use my phone’s gps to see where I’m at on it. As a previous reviewer noted, you have to be careful to align the photo north south when you take it. I suggest the developer add a third point to the alignment process.

Crashes

The app loads the first map that you want to overlay and then it crashes every time. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app and it crashes every time. Don't waste your time until they fix the bugs.

Needs a rotate feature.

Not bad and does what it says, but you cannot rotate the map you want to use as an overlay. This means you may have to retake the photo a few times to get it to line up correctly. In my opinion MapsGallery does this better.
