Mapcha vs Overlaid

Mapcha allows you to easily navigate paper based maps on your iOS device, even without an internet connection*. Perfect for walking, trekking or just navigating an unfamiliar city, Mapcha allows you to see your current location on your paper map. Mapcha uses an intuitive mechanism to overlay images of maps on to the standard Apple Maps: - Take a picture of your paper map using your device's camera or choose an image from your photo library - Choose two known points on the paper map and locate those points on Apple Maps - From those points Mapcha calculates the map's scale and positions your image on top of Apple Maps * An active internet connection may be required in order to load Apple Map data to assist in calibrating a map, however once a map has been calibrated it can be used offline. Note - Mapcha does not cache Apple Map data; however your map images will be available offline and you will still be able to see your current location. - Mapcha does not come with any preloaded maps.

Place any image on a live map so you can compare a park map, garden plan, historical map, site plan, trail route, festival ground, campus map, resort map, or reference photo with the real world. FEATURES - Overlay images on a live MapKit map with standard, satellite, and hybrid views. - Use Assisted Align to match a point on your image with the same point on the map. - Pin corners for precise placement when you need final control. - Tune opacity to compare the overlay with today's roads, paths, water, buildings, and terrain. - Hide, show, edit, export, and manage multiple overlays. - Keep overlays in sync on iPhone and iPad with private iCloud. HOW TO - Add a map image, scan, screenshot, site plan, trail guide, or venue layout. - Place it over the matching location on the live map. - Tap a landmark on the overlay, then tap the same landmark on the map to align it quickly. - Use corner pins and opacity when you want to fine tune the result. - Export an overlay package when you want to move or reuse a map setup.
