However, global maps for general use\u2013such as Google Maps, Bing maps, Apple Maps, and OpenStreetMap\u2013do not display many of the features displayed by maps produced for specific uses, such as topographic maps for hikers, bathymetric charts for mariners, or cadastral maps for surveyors, city planners, and tax collectors.<\/p>\n<p>Avenza Maps, a mobile application by Avenza Systems, makes it easy for users to display on a mobile device the most appropriate map for their particular application while also taking advantage of the device\u2019s GPS receiver to mark their position on the map. Users can download maps from Avenza\u2019s very large map library or create their own and open them in the application.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Custom, Portable Maps -- Via App!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xyht.com\/gnsslocation-tech\/custom-portable-maps-app\/#sthash.JCuq055i.dpuf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read more&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avenza has evolved its map products into an app that lets people upload their own map\u2014or download a map of their choice\u2014to their mobile devices, and customize it.
