Sign up to our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/b6-pGr 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, shop and refuel, as well as money matters, emergencies and obviously what to see and do when you visit a place. View our onli

ne 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 campsites or accommodation in Africa, then simply browse our maps or search the website. In addition to our GPS maps we also produce paper maps for selected countries in Africa. To date we have a Namibia map, Botswana map, Zambia map, Mozambique & Malawi 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 an App available on the Google Play store and iTunes Store, namely the T4A Guide App. 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 show contact details etc, making it easy to get hold of a camp site or lodge near you, or find 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. Our Guid App works offline, i.e. no internet connection required once installed. The app also makes use of the internal GPS of your device to determine your position.

Travelling way, way off the beaten track is how you might describe Rafiki On Tour's style of overlanding.

How big is the Tracks4Africa Wall Map of Africa? Well, roughly the size of a Jimny bonnet! Overlander Richard Wilks spread out one on his vehicle to start planning his trip. That's the beauty of this laminated map: it gives you the big picture and you can annotate it. Mark up where you've been or where you want to go – marker can be wiped off as plans change. Of course, it also looks beautiful on a wall: pinned up, block mounted or framed. Check it out: https://ow.ly/oSll50ST1sm

It's time for your Monday Moment of Chill. Sit back, relax and imagine yourself trundling along Eselbank Pass in the Cederberg.
