Enjoy your view as a digital interactive orientation information board
You're at a viewpoint and your first intention is to orient yourself? You manage to identify one or two places, such as a church or a mountain, but you would also like to better understand the rest of your view? Use your knowledge and create your own personal MapShot!
How does it work?
Follow these simple steps to start using MapShot
Take a photo of your view
Mark a point on the image that you can identify. (A mountain, a church, a tower...)
Mark the point on a map
Be rewarded with a Mapshot-Viewer, where each image pixel corresponds to a coordinate on a map. Your self-created interactive orientation panel!
If you are satisfied with your MapShot, share it with others. A map with all published MapShots worldwide allows you to download MapShots from others even in places where you are not so familiar!
