Hunting Map Tip for smart phones
« on: October 04, 2017, 08:19:00 PM »
Maryland doesnt really provide the best maps of the public hunting lands.  So I figured out a trick using Google Maps on my android phone, doing an overlay of the satellite map and the terrain map.  You will need Google maps obviously, and I used a photo editing app called PicsArt.

Open Maps and set it to satellite.
Take a screen shot (press and hold power and volume down buttons simultaniously on android, no idea for iphone).
Change to terrain, WITHOUT moving the map, and screenshot again.
Open the satellite picture with PicsArt or whatever photo app allows photo overlay.
Select "add picture" and add the terrain screenshot.
Change the opacity of the second picture and use the icons to align the pictures correctly.
Adjust opacity as needed to get the overlay you need.  I did mine to more show the park boundry with landmarks than terrain, but again just adjust as needed.

Here is an example:
 

I figured someone might find it useful as I did.
