Paper Maps

The website paper-maps.com is gone and the app hasn’t been updated for four years. But despite that it works and shows my location on a geo tiff I imported. (FAA sectional map, 61mb tif.)

The app works great, except a few issues. 1. Paid content is only available in the device it is purchased on. There is no account to associate your purchases with, hence no portability to other devices. You will lose all of your purchases once you have to move on to another device. 2. Some paid maps (specifically BRMB Topo) had issues with purchasing and downloading. Some maps that I tried purchasing didn’t go through, and now they show as “Purchased” in the Map store (so I cannot try purchasing again), but they don’t show up in the list of Purchases. There is no way to reset this situation, short of clean-reinstalling the app (and losing all of your downloads). 3. Picking a map from a long list of downloads is a nightmare! You have to manually scroll and scan through the list. No search by name! No automatic selection by location! No jumping to a letter or any other mechanism to make selections any less painful!
