Vetus Maps

Vetus Maps is a map app that will be especially useful to anyone who loves history and geography. This free tool gives you access to an extensive collection of old maps that can be overlaid on modern ones. This way, you can research how landscapes have changed over time without having to resort to other bibliographic resources.

Compare old maps with modern ones

One of the highlights of using Vetus Maps is the ability to make comparisons between old and modern maps. By adjusting the level of transparency to observe important details without losing sight of the current context, you'll find it much easier to identify place names and sites of historical value that are no longer included on contemporary maps. In addition, this app lets you download your favorite maps, after which you can use them without an Internet connection.

Add custom markers in a snap

On Vetus Maps, you can also place custom markers without any trouble by simply tapping on each map. This simple feature makes it easy to mark relevant points of interest for future research or trips to specific locations. At the same time, the option to record routes via GPS allows you to document the routes you take on foot or by other means of transportation.

Download Vetus Maps's APK for Android to explore the forgotten counties, villages, and landscapes no longer included on newer maps. That said, to access certain historical maps, you'll need to pay a fee for each cartographic document.
