About

NW Maps

Features
Read full description

NW Maps helps you organise your territories and spend your time where you will meet the most people. EVERY TERRITORY IN ONE PLACE All your territories in one clear list, with names and territory numbers. One tap shows a territory on the map – no more leafing through printouts. SEE WHAT IS AHEAD NW Maps colours the buildings in your territory by type: detached house, multi-family house or apartment block. So you can tell before you set out where many people live close together – instead of walking there to find out. TAKE A TERRITORY FROM A SCREENSHOT Already have your territory as an image? Upload the screenshot. NW Maps recognises the boundary and places it on the map in the right spot. You can fine-tune the position by hand afterwards. DRAW BOUNDARIES YOURSELF No screenshot at hand? Draw the boundary straight onto the map with your finger – point by point, correctable at any time. THE MAP YOU NEED Switch between the standard map, satellite imagery and the building view. Your current location is always visible, so you know where in the territory you are. ON YOUR DEVICE, IN YOUR HANDS Your territories are yours. Sign in with your Apple ID and they live in your private iCloud, ready on all your devices. You can also use the app without signing in at all – then everything stays on this device only. Building data, once loaded, is stored. It is there instantly next time, even without an internet connection. FOR IPHONE AND IPAD The same app on both – with more room for the map on iPad. — Building data from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Weather data from Open-Meteo. NW Maps is an independent project.
