MAPinr user reviews :

It is a very good and useful app, but it could be better if we could really download the image of an selected area, I use it to do my field work, it helps a lot, but it has left me empty handed sometimes when I didn’t have internet access

Great app, really came in handy while navigating using a KMZ file, I tried using Google Earth first but it was not working when I wanted to navigate the mapped route, so I looked into playstore for alternatives and came across this app, it is a godsend as I had to complete the work that morning itself and I was stuck in the middle of nowhere. Thank You

This is a very useful app for anyone that needs to create custom map, with markers, shapes and photos. With that said, there are a few problems. First I can’t really hold against the dev, but there are some major functionality issues with Android Q (Beta v3). -The camera fails to launch completely. I have tried several camera apps, they all fail. -The share feature fails completely, I can not share the KMZ to anything right now. Only work around seems to be to save the KMZ locally first, then use a file explorer to share the file. The second problem should be a pretty easy fix. The crosshair works well if the map is in street mode, but is basically invisible if you use the satellite mode. An option to change the crosshair from black to white or better still red, would solve this issue.

Amazing app, you can put any info you require into a kmz/kml and find it on the ground to within a few metres. I’m a land surveyor and use it to find control points
