### 2/5 — Does not center image

*2026-04-12*

When I tried to press done to create the map, it shrunk the image and moved it over so that it was not in the right place anymore. So I just used it in the editing mode without zooming in which worked okay. Please fix this if you still maintain this app, I would greatly appreciate it

### 1/5 — Map

*2024-10-19*

If you need to rotate the map just a bit, it automatically snaps back to a horizontal position and will not let you rotate a few degrees.

### 4/5 — Nice little tool

*2023-07-19*

As long as the image you’re overlaying isn’t large it works pretty well. Very simple and efficient little tool. Would have given 5 stars if the advertisements went away after purchasing the upgrade.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-05-19*

I use this to overlay old maps over current maps. GPS will then take me to a site that I want to research for old relics. Great app!

### 1/5 — schlecht

*2022-10-31, version 1.0.5*

man fügt ein bild ein und beim erneuten öffnen der app ist es wieder weg

### 1/5 — Settings won’t show on larger screens

*2022-06-29, version 1.0.5*

Apps UI is not responsive and is made for older devices.

### 1/5 — Maps are deleted if you quit the app

*2022-04-22*

Unbelievable that this wasn’t tested.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2021-03-27*

I took a photo of my property boundaries from the county tax department gis service. 
Rotated my phone to match the aerial photo of my location with my photo. Had to adjust opacity a little to match the two views. 
Pressed DONE
Now I can roam the property and know where I am!
Perfect!
Thank you to the developers...

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing when trying to edit map

*2019-04-27*

Very difficult to see the overly map when trying to position it.  App keeps crashing.  Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t do it

*2018-02-28*

I’m not overly dense, but I could not figure out how to work this and could not find any instructions.
So I had to delete it. Sorry for being obtuse.

**Developer response:** Go to the '?' page to find instructions. Email me at support@trailmap.tk or go to https://trailmap.tk/FAQ/ for more information!
