Hi, "Map My Family" does about the same as "Legacy Mapping". It does what is say's in the description. I use it more than Legacy Mapping. Others on this list differ. Keep in mind that both "Map My Family" and "Legacy Mapping" use *current* locations, not historical.
AniMap uses *historical* locations. You can plot cities/cemeteries/railroads/military/post offices/etc... You search for those locations in a sitefinder, then plot it on the map. It will show you which county of your ancestors were in for a certain time. For instance, my ancestor lived in Lehi, Utah. I use SiteFinder to search for Lehi. I can then plot Lehi on the map, and see which county Lehi was in, in a certain year from 1849, historically. It has a run feature that you can just set, then sit back and watch from year to year. I can record which county they lived in *historically*. I would enter Lehi, Utah, Utah for the location in my database in 1890. It's great for following your ancestors through different cities they lived and *correctly* enter the historical data. It also shows the county seat. I would also recommend you look at Centennia Historical Atlas. I do research in Czechoslovakia. It has so many boundary changes through the years.
