★★★★★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.

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!

So, Eazy, tell me, how was your life as a youngster ? Ruthless, my style as a juvenile Ran with a gang, slanged in the meanwhile Brakin, I specialized in Rankin whites, Mexicans, brothers and others Daily, it's all about comin up Makin sure no punks are running up Because I'm a gangster havin fun Strapped with a gat when I'm walkin through Compton Terrible, I never listened to my mother It went in one ear, and out the other Ran my gang so undercover Call a girl out a name, yo I ain't no lover

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.
