Many publicly available maps can be imported into MAPS n TRAX. In addition the app is well suited for applications that require specialist maps with details that are customized or are not widely available, such as highly detailed topographic maps obtained from your government mapping authority or specialized maps produced with GIS tools.
Details:
• Converts and displays a wide range of map and image file types including * PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIFF, ESRI Shapefiles, ESRI File Geodatabase and Open Street Map (PBF & XML) and geo-referenced image formats such as GeoTIFF. (Note: .ozf2 & .ozfx3 files are NOT supported). See the User Guide for more information about working with these files.
• Imports and exports tracks in GPX and KML formats.
• Compatible with raster and vector map file types and projections used in commercial and open source Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software tools including ARCGIS and OpenStreetMaps.
• Automatically align geo-referenced image files or manually calibrate non-geo-referenced ones.
• Can display large maps and can join several consecutive large maps into a single huge map. The map size is limited only by the iPhone or iPad's storage capacity.
• Imported maps of different scales can be viewed simultaneously, adjacent to or overlapping each other.
• Multiple tracks can be displayed on maps simultaneously and tracks with named waypoints can be searched like a directory or gazetteer.
We recommend that you review our website www.rocketsplashgames.com/mapsntrax/support/ and the online User Guide to be sure that MAPS n TRAX suits your requirements. The User Guide section on Preparing Maps describes the process to prepare a plain image file for use as a location-calibrated and mobile-optimized map image.
Continued use of the GPS running in the background can dramatically reduce battery life on the iPhone or iPad.
Took a punt on this as info was vague and not much supporting info on web. Developer "suggests" it might work with ozf or ozf2 files for calibration, but it does not.However, once you work out (via iTunes) how to upload the map jpg, calibration of the imported map was very easy. Basically just overlay your map with the inbuilt google maps (line up some tracks or dams etc) and click save and your done.I thought it works well as a locator - as in where was I on a bush track. Didn't use any other features.
Just ok

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. Its not too bad but there is what I believe a serious flaw. Occasionally, when you start the app it will not locate your GPS position. If you are within cellular coverage and turn your data on it will immediately locate your position. If you are outside cellular coverage, bad luck it will not show your position. The trick is to turn on the app while you are in cellular coverage and leave it on. I have reported the problem to the developers who did respond that they would look into it which of course they have not. Why would they, they already have my money. The same problem has occurred on an IPhone 5, 6 and 7. Its not the phone and all the other GPS apps I have work fine. Don’t rely on it if you are outside cellular data coverage.
Great app

I've found this app is great for viewing the .jpg map files I had on my PC. I found it easy to upload my maps and it has lots of nice features to organise and store the maps. Viewing the maps is also excellent with options to view-overlay multiple maps and also to have an online background map underneath. Recording tracks and creating waypoints is simple to use with lots of options. They also have an easy to read user guide at the website. Definitely worth purchasing for viewing your own maps.
Does it all - but Opaque Toolbars?
Son of a Beach
What's with the new opaque black toolbars? I know you were having some issue with iOS 10 compatibility (opaque white top toolbar) but this is the wrong solution! Toolbars should not obscure the map. And it makes the translucent status bar (with map visible beneath) look a bit silly. Come on... fix it properly! Please. :-)This is the only app I could find that does both raster and vector maps as well as both online and offline maps, including custom online maps, not just the Apple or Google online maps.
