Field notes
The tool combines a route diagram from a GPX, TCX, or KML file with a photographed paper map through manually selected corresponding points. Printed control circles or triangles can help guide taps, while rotation, scale, nudge, and optional direct dragging handle the remaining alignment. The page recommends three or four points spread across the map and exports the result at the photo's full resolution. It identifies itself as version 0.5.0 and links to GitHub source.
