NomadTracks is an offline GPS tracker for hiking, biking, overlanding, and sailing — with a specialty no other app does this simply: bring your OWN maps. Import a GeoPDF, a scanned topographic map, or even a photo of a paper map, georeference it in the app, and navigate on it fully offline with your live position.
