Ever wanted to see your GPS location on a historical map, a trail map, or that mall directory? Good Old Maps lets you do exactly that. Browse maps others have uploaded, or turn any map into a GPS-enabled experience by photographing it. Take a picture of a map, mark a few reference points with your current location, and the app calculates where you are. Add more points for better accuracy. Share your calibrated maps so others can use them too.
