Latin America Topo Maps 7.7.2

The outdoor navigation app presents a user-friendly platform for accessing topographic maps across various regions in Latin America, offering a valuable resource for outdoor enthusiasts. Users can select from multiple map layers—including topographic maps, aerial imagery, and nautical charts—allowing for thoughtful trip planning. Moreover, the app effectively transforms Android devices into outdoor GPS units, supporting offline navigation for backcountry excursions.

For users seeking updated maps, it is recommended to utilize layers from OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, or Bing Maps.

The app provides comprehensive worldwide maps, including detailed topographic layers for numerous Latin American countries:

• Mexico: INEGI Maps at scales of 1:20,000 to 1:250,000 with over 7,000 maps available.
• Brazil: Varying scales with approximately 15% at 1:25,000, 30% at 1:50,000, 75% at 1:100,000, and 90% at 1:250,000.
• Argentina: Approximately 30% coverage at 1:50,000 and 70% at 1:100,000; complete coverage at 1:250,000.
• Paraguay: Approximately 80% coverage at 1:100,000.
• Peru: Coverage includes about 20% at 1:25,000 and full availability at 1:100,000.

The app supports various worldwide basemap layers such as:

• OpenStreetMaps with multiple layouts and downloadable in a vector format
• Google Maps featuring Satellite images and Road/Terrain maps
• Bing Maps comprising Satellite images and a Road map
• Waze Roads
• Earth At Night

A unique feature allows users to overlay basemap layers and utilize a transparency fader for an effective comparison of different maps. Additionally, importing maps from other sources is straightforward; users can integrate raster maps in formats such as GeoPDF or GeoTiff and add web mapping services like WMS or WMTS/Tileserver. The app also permits importing OpenStreetMaps in a vector format for comprehensive regions.

The application offers useful overlays such as hillshading and contour lines to enrich the mapping experience. Recognizing that no single map may be perfect, users are encouraged to toggle between various map layers or utilize the compare feature to identify optimal routes. Notably, older topographic maps may reveal trails or features absent in contemporary mappings.
