About this app

It often happens that you have old historical maps, but when comparing them with a modern map, difficulties arise. Settlements grow or disappear altogether, roads change and it becomes difficult to determine where that farm or the lord's house was. It is to solve this problem that we created the Maps Explorer application.

The Maps Explorer application allows you to attach any picture (map) to the area. That is, overlay an image on a Google map. In addition, there can be many such pictures. Thus, it is possible to "sew" several fragments of maps on the territory. These may be Soviet maps Gen. Red Army headquarters, Schubert maps, Polish and German maps, Mende maps, Strelbitsky maps, etc. After binding, it will be possible to change the transparency and adjust the position of the desired fragments. The application also allows you to quickly switch between map fragments and find differences in maps of different time periods.

Also the Maps Explorer app has many other tools. One of which is the transverse profile of the relief on a certain segment. You can compare the slopes of different ravines, slopes, etc. This and other features of the application will be very useful when analyzing the area and finding interesting places.

Main functions:
- imposition of ancient maps on a modern map;
- loading of ready linked online maps;
- import/export of .sqlitedb maps;
- import/export of created maps (.mef files);
- import/export of .kml and .wpt files;
- recording GPS tracks;
- measurement of distance and area;
- transverse relief profile;
- search on the map;
- various background maps;

The application has a "Help" section, which provides instructions on how to use the application, recommendations for binding and a list of resources for finding the right cards. If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact the support service.

Ratings and reviews

Downloaded because Old Maps Online is no longer active. There are no old maps on this site, title is deceiving. The measuring and elevation tool is neat but whats the point if you're just using a Google maps clone?

Used to use the great app Old Maps Online but then it got updated to this which has no old maps at all. OMO was easy to use and had lots of great maps and info. Maps Explorer is worthless. Go back to the old app please.

The application looks good, especially from the price/quality view. However I couldn't find the feature to recenter my position in case I had scrolled through the map and then wanted quickly to get back to my current position. Could you please advise if I had missed something. In case this feature (button) doesn't exist currently, could you please add it to the next release?
