This
image is an example from the range of Southern Africa maps
that cover the following countries
- Angola: 1: 1 100 000
- Botswana: 1: 1 100 000
- Lesotho: 1: 400 000
- Swaziland: 1:300 000
- Tanzania: 1: 1 300 000
- Zambia: 1: 1 100 000
- Zimbabwe: 1: 1 100 000
This range of Southern African country map contain extremely valuable information not found on other road and off-road maps covering the same regions. The maps contain GPS coordinates for accommodation facilities, visitor centres, adventure sites, points of interest, landmarks, towns, fuel stops, intersections and more. You will find descriptive multi-language icons indicating the type of facility (e.g. lodge, camp, hotel) as well as activities icons (e.g. abseiling, tennis, fishing, golf and many more). Roads, tracks, 4x2 and 4x4 tracks are included.
GPS coordinates on the Maps
The GPS coordinates written in this map consist of a latitude and longitude that can be inputted into a GPS receiver to aid navigation. When planning a detailed off road trip in Africa it is strongly recommended that a GPS is used. Grid reading can be a problem in obtaining exact GPS locations especially if the map is of scale that an estimate of the correct co-ordinates is hard to achieve. Maps of at least 1: 50000 are required for this purpose and even then care needs to be taken.
The maps shown below show GPS coordinates of intersections, towns, fuel points, resorts and points of interest. These GPS points are provided a service for map readers. As stated it is always best to double check co-ordinates for off road adventures in unfamiliar territory. This can be done using Google Earth.
