Turn a place into a new perspective. MapToNap brings architectural site analysis to your iPhone. Find a place, select a study area and create clear diagrams from real OpenStreetMap data. • Explore 26 analysis types covering streets, urban fabric, green space, water, orientation, access and urban activity. • Choose from 10 color palettes and adjust diagram framing, color and line weight. • Save completed projects on your device and reopen them without generating them again. • Work in light or dark appearance, with English and Simplified Chinese interfaces. • Export PNG images. MapToNap Pro also includes SVG and PDF, watermark-free output and higher-resolution PNG. Four analysis types are free. Pro is available as a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple subscription settings. Availability of map detail depends on OpenStreetMap coverage and network access. Analysis diagrams are design references, not survey-grade measurements or measured environmental readings.
