South Africa: Swartberg & Klein-Karoo Touring Map (Edition 3) – Digital

R225.00

These maps are FABULOUS when loaded on a Smart Phone, Tablet or iPad…

The most up-to-date version of our famous Swartberg & Klein-Karoo map in digital format.

The Swartberg is the mightiest mountain range in the Western Cape, with peaks up to 2400 metres, fantastic ravines, gorges and poorts, amazing mountain passes, lost corners and a history as rich as its flora and fauna. The mountains frame the northern edge of the Klein-Karoo, their mighty peaks and slopes dark and swart against the northering sun.

The mountains and the Klein-Karoo provide a playground for tourists — there are ostrich farms, wildlife parks, the Cango caves, endless fascination for explorers, and a richness of facilities and activities that’s as good as you could find anywhere.

This is the first detailed map ever produced for the area; may it guide you on many an exciting journey of discovery.

This double-sided, full-relief map covers, at a scale of 1:160 000, the entire Swartberg mountain range from west to east. North of the mountains the towns of Laingsburg, Prince Albert and Willowmore are included; through the Klein-Karoo the major towns are Ladismith, Calitzdorp, Oudtshoorn and De Rust. The southern boundary of the map is defined by the northern slopes of the Langeberg-Outeniqua range, with towns Barrydale, Vanwyksdorp, George and Uniondale.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT DIGITAL MAPS
1. Our digital maps are effectively snapshots of our paper maps. They are not interactive [enlargement does not reveal greater detail] nor does removing elements, eg title pane, reveal more mapped area. That said, they can be enlarged or reduced to the limits of their resolution [300 dpi] with complete flexibility.
2. We recommend the use of JPGs on smart phones.  iPHONES: We have recently been made aware that some iPhones store picture content in the Cloud, not on the phone, necessitating downloads every time you want to use the map. Seems that Apple wasn’t thinking about the vast areas of the earth with no wifi or phone reception. Work around this by installing a flash memory card in your phone if possible, so that the maps are always immediately available. This problem does not seem to occur on Android and other phones, as far as we know. Any info from users would be very helpful!
3. Please remember our recommendation: that you download your digital purchases to a laptop or other hard drive before transferring them [if required] to a tablet or smartphone.
4. Please note that digital products are NOT RETURNABLE! How could we possibly know whether they have been completely erased from all your devices? Please be fair!

Additional info:

Swartberg and Klein-Karoo region on a contoured and GPS compatible, double-sided, waterproof and tear-resistant map at 1:160,000 from Slingsby Maps, with excellent topographic detail and plenty of tourist information, including street plans of ten main towns.

The map provides a very detailed picture of this mountainous terrain, with altitude colouring, shading, con- tours at 20m intervals and numerous spot heights. For GPS navigation important road junctions and various other features are annotated with waypoints and the map has latitude and longitude lines at 5’ intervals.

Road information is very finely graded, indicating road surface, private roads with public access, 4WD only tracks, cattle grids and game gates, locations of fuel supplies, etc. Also marked are routes found by publish- ers as enjoyable, or conversely as dull. Railway lines are shown with stations. For hikers the map indicates waymarked paths and shows other trails. A very wide range of symbols highlight various places of interest and tourist facilities: different types of accommodation from hotels to campsites, picnic places, farm stalls, wineries, restaurants, sport and recreational sites, animal viewing sites, etc.

The map also includes street plans of ten of the region’s main towns: Laingsburg, Ladismith, Van Wyksdorp, Calitzdrop, De Rust, Oudtshoorn, Schoemanshoek, Prince Albert, Uniondale and Willowmore, all annotated with accommodation and other tourist facilities of places of interest.
