Vetus Maps is an innovative application designed to bridge the gap between historical geography and modern navigation. Time changes landscapes, and discovering ancient ghost villages or historical sites in vast fields can be a challenging task for local historians and antiquity enthusiasts alike. This app offers a practical solution by providing access to a vast catalog of old maps for various counties and provinces directly on your iPhone.

With Vetus Maps, users can overlay historic maps onto contemporary maps including satellite, hybrid, and terrain views. The transparency of these vintage maps can be adjusted, allowing users to seamlessly compare past and present landscapes for a better understanding of historical geography.

This application serves as a valuable tool for toponymy study, as many names and locations found on old maps have been lost over time and do not appear on topographical maps. Using these ancient references, users can confidently navigate the countryside even many years later.

Key Features

• Overlay Historic Maps on Modern Maps: Easily transfer old maps onto modern satellite, hybrid, or terrain maps for comparative study.
• Adjust Transparency: Customize the visibility of old maps to suit your viewing preference and enhance clarity.
• Map Catalog Download: Access and download a comprehensive catalog of historical maps for offline use.
• Place Markers: Long press on the map to set markers and highlight points of interest.
• GPS Track Recording: Record your GPS tracks in the background to document your exploration routes.
• Location Search: Quickly find places on the maps to simplify navigation and study.

All old maps are available offline, making it convenient to use the app in remote areas. However, satellite maps require an internet connection.

The app records GPS tracks even when running in the background, although continuous GPS use may significantly reduce your device’s battery life.
