GPS support for PDF-files with maps
Hello,
I am from Germany and use the Acrobat reader app to view online tickets of Flixbus.
On the ticket there is a small map which shows where to find the bus stop.
While searching for the bus stop I always switch between Google Maps and Acrobat reader to find the Stop. It would be very convenient to have my GPS-location in Acrobat reader to see where I am on the map which is printed on the PDF-file.
An idea to solve this problem would be that Acrobat reader has a feature that detects the map on the file and creates a GPS grid on the PDF-file that fits the real location. Now I could navigate using only the PDF-file if Acrobat reader has access to my GPS-Location.
I think this would be a nice feature.
To determine the right grid Acrobat reader has to know two GPS-coordinates on the map on the PDF-file. This should not be to hard to get if street names are written on the map. Deep learning algorithms should be able to do that.
I hope you like the idea. Would be glad to get feedback.
