Latest reviews of Old Maps Online app for iPhone and iPad
No option to get rid of ads?
Some of the older maps were blury, I dont like there is not a option to get rid of ads and the gps is not even close to acurate on most of the map but it is nice to be able to have access to so many maps over such a broad history of time of anywhere I want.
Very annoying, had to delete.
Finally the Old Maps Online has a Mobile app!
Quite a refreshing addition to the world of apps -- both in utility and imagination. Graphic resolution in many of the USGS surveys leaves something to be desired, however; as a reference tool, I look forward to future development.
