This app provides detailed topographic information including small roads, paths, and off-road tracks not found in mainstream mapping services. The topography is enriched with contour lines showcasing rivers, lakes, hills, vegetation, villages, etc., providing a unique geographic insight into the region.

In more urban settings, users may opt for Google or OSM maps; however, in rural or remote areas, the large-scale topographic maps prove their value.

The app's cartographic offerings are vast, comprising over a thousand georeferenced maps. Although some maps are dated between 1955 to 2006, they remain relevant for outdoor excursions.

The inclusion of Atlogis® hillshading and placenames enhances the usability of the topographic maps provided.

This navigation tool is ideal for various outdoor pursuits such as hiking, biking, camping, climbing, riding, canoeing or off-road 4WD tours.

To facilitate seamless usage in areas without cellular connectivity, free map data can be preloaded beforehand.
