South Africa Topo Maps v7.8.5
ATLOGIS Geoinformatics GmbH & Co. KGAbout this app
Developer Description
Offroad & Outdoor Navigation. 50k topographical maps and aerial images for SA
The NGI (South Africa's national mapping organisation) 1:50.000 topographical maps show significantly more tracks, pathes and other features than OpenStreetMaps (the map data most other navigation apps use) or maps from other commercial map providers.
The 1:50 000 topographical maps are the largest maps providing full coverage of South Africa. The series consists of a total of 1 913 sheets
Add easily maps from other sources (GeoPDF, GeoTiff, Online Map Services like WMS, ...)
Available base map layers for South Africa:
• South Africa Topo Maps: These are the NGI 1:2.000.000, 1:250.000 and 1:50.000 topographical maps.
• South Africa Aerial Imagery with a ground resolution of 50cm/Pixel
Worldwide basemap layers:
• OpenStreetMaps (5 different map layouts), also downloadable in space saving vectorformat
• Google Maps (Satellite images, Road- and Terrain-Map)
• Bing Maps (Satellite images, Road-Map)
• ESRI Maps (Satellite images, Road- and Terrain-Map)
• Waze Roads
• Earth At Night
Configure a basemap layer as an overlay and utilize a transparency fader to seamlessly compare maps with each other.
Add maps from other sources:
• Import raster maps in GeoPDF, GeoTiff, MBTiles or Ozi (Oziexplorer OZF2 & OZF3)
• Add web mapping services as WMS or WMTS/Tileserver
• Import OpenStreetMaps in Vectorformat, eg complete USA for just some GBs
Available worldwide overlays:
• Hillshading overlay

South Africa Topo Maps users say on Google Play
Just installed the app and mightily impressed. I love all the old info still available on the topo maps. The satellite imagery is good as well. Need to trial it in the mountains next time.
Brilliant on line and off line map toolset. Pity they don't publish reasons to upgrade to Pro version before you have to pay to see
Some useful features but a bunch of annoying flaws. I'll use it but I won't renew subscription. (1) Needs a paid vs free comparison table (ALL offline features are paid, unlike many competing apps). (2) I couldn't change download destination to SD card (3) "large" (20+ MB) downloads freeze without warning. (4) Can only download one layer at a time (5) A bug, where initially all downloads were only OSM. After a reboot I could download my preferred layers. (6) Position acquisition is VERY slow.

Installed the app, paid for pro version, when open the app and start a route and click on any of the 3 information Tabs at the bottom of the app the app stops.. not very cool for a paid/Pro version.
