Matchy Maps makes it fun and easy to import walking maps into your phone! Simply take a photograph of your paper map and align it with our digital map. You'll then be able to see your location on the paper map as you walk around. Following complicated walking routes becomes simple! Take pictures of map boards at the entrances to parks, zoos and theme parks and find your way around all the best routes and attractions by just glancing at your phone. I am committed to making ethical software, so Matchy Maps doesn't contain any advertising, it doesn't require a subscription and it doesn't share your data with anyone. Just a small one-off payment and it's yours for life! Tips: * For best alignment, make sure the phone is as parallel to the map as possible when taking pictures * Always make sure you have a back-up map with you when walking anywhere dangerous/unfamiliar * You can now also import maps from images and PDFs on the web!
