Map Switcher App in form of a streamlined iOS-share-extension. There are many good apps for navigation and map display. Unfortunately, it's currently not possible to exchange locations between different map apps. However, most apps offer the option to share a location. And that's precisely where this app comes in. You share a location and then select the "OPEN LOCATION" action provided by this app. EXAMPLE USAGE: I found a point of interest on Google Maps or Yelp. I share it via the "OPEN LOCATION..." action. Then I choose e.g. 'TomTom', because this might be my favorite app for car navigation. Or I could choose 'UBER' to order a ride. Or maybe 'Outdooractive' to hike to this location. Et cetera, etc... Everyone should be able to find good use of combining his/her existing apps with each other in new ways. SUPPORTED DATA TYPES: - contacts (vCard) - geo-tagged photos & movies - geo: links - GPX waypoints - ICS / ICAL events - KML placemarks - Plus Codes - textual coordinates - Wikipedia pages SUPPORTED APPS: - Apple Maps - Citymapper - CoMaps - Direkto - Google Earth - Google Maps - Guru Maps - here - Komoot - Lyft - Magic Earth - MapOut - maps.me - Organic Maps - OsmAnd Maps - Outdooractive - Pocket Earth - Scenic Motorcycle Navigation - Sygic - TomTom Go - UBER - Waze - What3Words - Wigemo - Yelp

About

Kangaskoski Mobile

Read full description

The Kangaskoski factory operated between 1901 and 1924 by the river Hiitolanjoki as a part of that time Parikkala. On the factory islet, wood pulp, cardboard and natural brown wrapping paper were produced in stages. Not much of the factory has remained at the site, but this app brings it to life. Point your phone at the guide boards at the check points on the Kangaskoski factory's mobile path and start getting to know the sites, machines and production process. Dive into augmented reality. You can even take a peek inside the factory!
