Detail

If you’re a delivery driver, this app is absolutely essential. not only does it show great detail of the property including the house names but also the correct way to get to them. this app is brilliant. Good work guys keep it up

Really useful tool

The ability to compare [ast and present is really useful and interesting. The only things that I'd like are a zoom function (I can stretch the image using an iPhone or iPad but can't do that with the desktop version - and maybe a 1960's map.

Good app

Fairly good app does everything that it says it does! Nice and handy.....easy to navigate 👍🏻

Hunting for Ordnance Survey Bench Marks

An absolutely essential app for anybody like me that scours the UK for Ordnance Survey bench marks. Zooming in on the Ordnance Survey maps shows the detail mapping that shows to precise location of nearly all of the bench marks on the Ordnance Survey list. I’m really glad I discovered this app.

Great for map geeks!

Being fascinated by old maps, this seems to be the only app I can find where you can a gps location in real time overlaid on a map that is over a hundred years old. For a free app this is great and I would love to see more developments on this neglected niche of historical maps. I find the historic maps do not zoom in enough though, and is hard to see detail on a phone screen. I would like to see some of the more detailed historic maps incorporated within in app with zoom and overlay feature. I wait in anticipation for this to appear! But this particular app, for a free download, is an excellent and fascinating tool for map geeks.

Please fix new bug

Text to select map source has become invisible after latest update - white on white background when using dark theme - almost unusable now. Great app otherwise. As I mainly switch to OpenStreetMap it is frustrating trying to choose from the invisible text options for the map source. Please also include an option for selected map source to remain as the default choice. Also the tile cache seems unreliable when offline. Many thanks for working on this super-useful app.

Maps

It’s a good map but I feel it needs a maps update

Stopped working

It has recently become impossible to select map sources because the options are invisible, rendering the app effectively useless.

Brilliant app especially the old maps, so much historical info there

Good maps app.

Works well and I can see myself using in the future. If the developer is reading this, I must bring your attention to an annoying issue. The select maps source menu cannot be read since both the background and the text is white. I am using iPhone XR.
