Mapsnap GPS

Use any photo as a map! MapSnap GPS is a fast and easy handheld map for those situations where road maps aren't good enough and you can't download a map. Just take a photo of a paper map using the camera in your device, mark your location using your inbuilt GPS, select the scale (or mark another location), and you're good to go. Whether you're hiking, trekking, cycling, or just sick of endlessly unfolding and refolding tourist or amusement park maps, MapSnap GPS is the perfect tool! MapSnap GPS • Allows you to photograph a physical map or use any image as a moving map • Shows your current GPS map position in real time • Adds a dynamic scale indicator (kilometres or miles) and a north indicator to every map • Can rotate maps to north, to your current bearing, or to true north (using the compass) • Supports OneDrive/email/phone GPX path export for upload to sites like Google or Bing maps • Can load GPX files as "guide" routes • Has a realtime GPS dashboard • Can run under a locked screen • Automatically saves "snapped" maps and calibration data for every map you've used • Supports latitude/longitude, UTM/UPS, and MGRS georeferencing • Doesn't require a data connection for navigation - all maps are stored offline • Has a deep zoom function, perfect for fine details in scanned maps • Is great for trailhead maps and corn mazes!

Use it all the time on hikes - nice to have GPS on a picture of a map when needed. Keep it up!

I know this is beta, but five stars. Tried it out on a small city map I photographed from a state highway map. Worked like a charm. Some suggestions: - flatten out photographs (like Office Lens app) would be really useful - color would be nice Other than that, perfect so far!

Bout time I reviewed. I use this app every time I'm off trail in the backcountry, importing my own custom maps. Calibration is spot on and the whole experience is superior to my old gps. Very little battery drain to my phone.

I don't get to use this app often enough but this past weekend I used it quite a lot and it was great! Calibrating a map image before heading out onto the trails is so easy and accurate.
