MakkaMappa - GPS any map to give You Are Here mark

MakkaMappa the next generation of maps.

Please check the range of available maps at makkamappa.com before downloading! Version 2.0 is a major upgrade including a new GPS dashboard, the ability to record, save and share tracks, the ability to use huge maps, a redesigned MapStore as well as major reliability fixes.

This app is the map viewer for MakkaMappa, a system enabling you to make, use and share visitor maps with all the modern mapping features youd expect location awareness, pop-up information boxes, off-line capability, social networking, and so on.

Whether you are the host, and you want a map for your visitors, or you are the visitor, and you want a map of your destination, Makkamappa is for you.

The app is only one half of the system. The other half is the website http//makkamappa.com – where you can upload new maps. Go here to upload a map to the system for FREE using our simple-to-use innovative web-based application. You need no extra software, only an image of the map you want to create. If you dont have time to upload your own map, let us know using the Request a Map button in the app or on the website. Well get it set up as soon as we can.

Once youve uploaded your map to the website, use this app to view the map on your iPhone. Even better, go to the location the map represents, and view it there. Youll be amazed when you see your position correctly shown on the map, no matter how much the map is stretched or squashed compared to the geographic space it represents. You wont need a data connection to view maps – great if youre going abroad.

You can add any pop-up information to your map using the website. This is shown on the map as tappable icons that can be selectively turned on and off. Tapping on the icons displays your explanatory information.

When youve perfected your map, share it with others. You can tell them in person, or contact them by email, Facebook or Twitter using the social networking features in the app.

Warning recording a track relies on continued use of the GPS chip, even when the app is in the background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
