Detailed Maps - Available Now
Thursday, 22 Oct 2009
Let's use GPS Tuner Atlas as a real off-road utility. GPS Tuner introduces the Detailed Map series' first member the topographic maps of Germany. The complete territory of the Federal Republic of Germany is now available split in to eight geographical regions as add-on Map Content packages.
Topographic maps are based on topographical surveys. Performed at large scales, these surveys are called topographical in the old sense of topography, showing a variety of landmark and landscape information.
Topographic maps have multiple uses in the present day: any type of geographic planning or large-scale architecture; earth sciences and many other geographic disciplines; mining and other earth-based endeavours; and recreational uses such as hiking, biking, geocaching, mountain climbing, skiing or, in particular, orienteering, which uses highly detailed maps in its standard requirements.
