General information

We offer great GPS maps that will navigate you from Cape Town to Cairo. Our map of Africa reflects where people travel and is packed with detail for the self drive traveller. It covers many aspects like where to stay, eat, shopping, fuel, money matters, emergencies and obviously what to see and do when you visit a place.

View our online map of Africa to see what level of detail we offer on our GPS maps. Our website contains loads of information on the places you see on our maps. If you are looking for camp site or accommodation in Africa, then simply browse our maps or search the website.

In addition to our GPS maps we have recently started to produce paper maps for selected countries in Africa. To date we have a Namibia map, Botswana map and our South Africa paper map which includes Lesotho and Swaziland.

Our Garmin compatible GPS maps are great for trip planning when used on your PC. You can set up planned routes and calculate how long it would take to reach a destination. Then browse the maps to see where you can sleep, fill up with fuel or buy stuff.

We also have two Apps available on the Google Play store and iTunes Store. The T4A Guide App and the T4A Overland Navigator (or just Navigator on Android).

The Guide app is a reference app with maps that resembles the cartography you find on our paper maps, zoomable and offline. It is combined with all of our guide information. Points of interest with contact details etc, making it easy to get hold of a camp site or lodge near you, or finding fuel and places of interest. The guide app does not provide turn by turn navigation but will show your GPS location on the map as you drive. Think of it as a full set of paper maps and guide books in electronic format, all in your pocket.

The Navigator app is a navigation app which turns your smartphone into a GPS. The purchase comes with the whole of Africa loaded and provides turn by turn navigation.

Both apps work offline, i.e. no internet connection required once installed. They both use the internal GPS of your device to determine your position.
