User reviews

Base map detail

The base map underling your image is virtually unreadable. Way to many ads for business underneath and not enough street name detail.

Response from developer

Hi, I'm sorry you're having problems with the base map, version 1.4 now adds support for some alternative base maps, so hopefully you'll find one of those easier to use. Just to be clear, there are no ads, those are simply business locations that have been contributed to Open Street Map.

This fills a needed mapping nitch

Great app. Would love two things: pdf map import. And the ability to recrop the map image after placing it.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add both those items to my roadmap!

Easy peasy app

I had a book of walks with instructions that were really confusing, but this app made it dead simple to follow the route by overlaying the route into a georeferenced base map.

Response from developer

Glad that you're finding it useful!
