PDF Maps iOS App

Avenza Systems has made mobile GIS technology available on Apple iOS devices for everybody to use.

The PDF Maps app is a geospatial PDF, GeoPDF^® and GeoTIFF reader for your Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices. Easily download, browse and interact with maps. It compliments MAPublisher and Geographic Imager, both of which have the ability to export to geospatial PDF and GeoTIFF. The formats are also supported by common GIS applications including ArcGIS.

PDF Maps is used by companies, organizations and individuals for navigation, information collection, and sharing geographic information and knowledge.
