Georeferenced history
Historical raster tiles sit exactly where they belong over the modern map.
Historical maps, live in your pocket
NS Marks The Spot
Slide Nova Scotia's Fletcher maps over today's landscape and see old roads, lakes, and landmarks line up under your thumb.
Fletcher maps georeferenced over modern MapKit terrain.
Offline tiles keep the map responsive in the field.
POI layers mark waterfalls, lighthouses, and discoveries.
Release train
The v1.0 candidate is moving through TestFlight.
As of July 1, 2026, the nightly train has uploaded and distributed TestFlight build 1.0 (4) to internal testers. The remaining work is App Store readiness: privacy, support, screenshots, final metadata, and review submission.
Built for curious feet
Every slider pull is a little time travel.
NS Marks The Spot turns archival Nova Scotia maps into a practical companion for walks, research trips, and weekend detours. Fade between the old survey and the current map to trace where a road bent, where a shoreline shifted, or where a name survived.
Fletcher overlay
Why it lands
Made for maps that do not behave like ordinary screenshots.
Instant transparency
A dedicated overlay control makes comparison feel tactile, fast, and readable.
POI discoveries
Waterfalls and other points of interest can appear as clean vector layers.
Offline-first tiles
Disk and memory caching keep panning smooth when the best places have weak signal.
Open-source cartography
Built in SwiftUI and MapKit, with room for future map engines.
The app is MIT licensed and structured around a map-engine boundary, so the interface can stay steady while the renderer evolves.
