For larger areas, I’ve been splitting the exported map into separate files. When multiple maps loaded in, there is a Maps table of contents listing.
inches) are slower to render in this version (hey, it’s a mobile phone). Very large maps (larger than 20 mb, or more than 2000 sq.
This will make panning and zooming faster during actual map use and is worth the wait.ĭuring precache rendering, you can still use the map, but the parts that will still be loading will be fuzzy for a while. When the map first loads it will process and prepare several zoom levels of precached tiles. I’ve loaded PDFs with the app that are more than 10 mb of vectors and performance has been good. This is possible for both the current map view using the tools menu, and to open a specific waypoint marker after clicking it’s location field.

Once open, several tools are available, the most important of which is simply the “locate me” triangle button on the map map view.Įven though it’s all about the PDF map you’re looking at, the app makes it convenient to open the same view in Maps.app to see Google’s version of reality for cross checking, especially using the satellite map tiles there. Once opened in the PDF Maps app, it will take a few seconds to minutes to render, second screenshot above. Clicking on a PDF link on the iPhone or iPad now prompts to open in the app, as seen in the first screenshot above. Avenza also offers dozens of sample GeoPDFs linked from within the app to get you started (click Maps, then +, then From Avenza PDF Maps Library and browse the list).Īdding maps is as simple as dragging them to iTunes or attaching to an email (making it easy to send map updates to your field checker). Even though the USGS files use the TerraGo GeoPDF format specification (versus Adobe + ESRI’s), it will open and render in PDF Maps.app.

You can also download thousands of GeoPDFs from USGS. Or use Avenza’s MaPublisher plugin for Illustrator (version 8.2+). To create a GeoPDF, you’ll need ArcGIS 9.3.1+ to export from ArcMap with preserve coordinate system checked.
View and load your own custom cartography maps and view them with GPS location.PDF Maps offers the following capabilities: I’m also excited to see if a white-label version becomes available (much like the Flash SWF export out of Avenza’s MaPublisher plugin for Illustrator) that cartographers can use to brand the experience and pre-bundle their maps. Future iterations of the app may introduce a two-tiered, free-basic feature and pay advanced feature parellel versions, which seems reasonable to me.

The inaugural version is iOS only but the company has had requests for Android, Symbian, Blackberry and even Windows 7 Mobile. Because these particular maps include street labels, they don’t need to switch back and forth to Apple’s provided Google Maps app as they navigate. They were amazed at how easy it was to locate themselves on the map and make notes by dropping markers they bring back to the office for me to review. I’ve created my own GeoPDFs and used those from USGS and Avenza.īesides myself, I setup two non-cartographers with an iPad (3g  with gps) and several GeoPDFs depicting neighborhood-level street maps to field check in the Washington DC metro area. I’ve used the app in my neighborhood, on a cross country road trip, and we’ve been using it to ground truth maps at at my day job. I’ve been testing it for several months using both the beta and  final release versions.

I quite enjoy Avenza’s new free PDF Maps iOS app, free and available now on the iTunes App Store for iPhone and iPad. It’s certainly not an ArcPad, but it works on the iPad and you’ll find it fun to use (and the app price is right).

Professional cartographers can use the app to deliver custom cartography maps that leverage GPS to locate the map-reading customer with the magic blue dot. This app gets the job done: PDF Maps introduces a strongly played set of basic features and later versions promise to add more advanced features like layer visibility and feature attribute query.
