About Custom Maps
Custom Maps (Package Name: com.custommapsapp.android) is developed by Marko Teittinen and the latest version of Custom Maps 1.8.4 was updated on January 19, 2023. Custom Maps is in the category of Travel & Local. You can check all apps from the developer of Custom Maps and find 164 alternative apps to Custom Maps on Android. Currently this app is for free. This app can be downloaded on Android 4.4+ on APKFab or Google Play. All APK/XAPK files on APKFab.com are original and 100% safe with fast download.
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.
