Good Old Maps vs Pointy Navigation

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.

Pointy is a simple walking compass for iPhone. Pick a place, then walk by direction and distance instead of following turn-by-turn instructions. Search for a destination with Apple Maps, drop a pin, or choose a saved place. When you start walking, Pointy switches to a calm black-and-white arrow screen that points toward your destination and shows how far away it is. Pointy is useful for walking across neighborhoods, finding a parked car, returning to favorite places, and staying oriented while still choosing your own streets. Features: • Apple Maps-style place search • Drop-pin destinations • Saved places and recent places • Parked vehicle marker • Full-screen arrow guidance • Distance and simple direction text • Local walk history • No accounts, ads, analytics SDKs, tracking, or cloud sync Pointy does not provide turn-by-turn directions. It gives you a direction and distance so you can choose your own route.
