Description
You can convert map images to GPS maps, and you can use the created maps completely offline. Custom Maps works on phones, tablets, and on Chromebooks.
Custom Maps can use maps in JPG and PNG images and PDF documents.
You can find useful map images in national and state park brochures, many of which are available online. You can also take pictures of paper maps. You can create your own GPS map for the park from those before you get there, so you will know where the trails lead and where the facilities are.
Watch the short video above to get a quick tutorial on how to use the app.
For those who don't like to watch videos, here is a brief summary on how to create a map: - Before opening Custom Maps, download a map image or PDF to your phone - With Custom Maps, select the map file on your phone you want to turn into a GPS map - Select two points on the map image and find the corresponding points on Google Maps - Preview the map image overlaid on Google Maps to verify the map image is accurate - Save the map to your phone
If you want to get creative, you could draw your own additional annotations on the jpg or png map image using some drawing app. Custom Maps does not provide image annotating features.
Privacy Policy
Custom Maps does not collect any personal information, and does not send any information from your phone or other Android device to any servers. All the functionality is performed on your phone without any data being sent to any servers.
Google Maps API is used in aligning the map images, so Google Privacy policy applies to that part. But Google Maps API is used anonymously to only display a map of the area on the map image. No personal information is sent to Google either.

★★★★★Oscar den Uijl· Mar 30, 2021
Brilliant app. I drew a map of my hometown as it was in 1830 from old surveyor maps, exported it as a 4800 x 4800 px PNG, imported it into the app, made 5 tie points, and it worked perfectly and accurately. Great for navigating historical maps.
★★★★☆Jeremy Lawson· Jul 29, 2022
Selected map could not be loaded as it is too large error even on a tiny 18kb JPG - updated to 4 stars, great communication by dev! Maps imported map JPG filenames should have no spaces!

Will not even open without access to your location, which should not be necessary. Edit: It's even less impressive when it won't even open without an unneeded, battery consuming feature enabled.

Asked for my location. I pressed deny. Asked for it again. I pressed deny & don't ask again. Kicked me out of app. Won't open now
