Map

The nearer, the more map

Coastlines, borders, rivers, lakes and names from Natural Earth; the nearer you get, the more from OpenStreetMap: roads, places, municipalities, protected areas, airports, harbours, peaks and addresses, loaded region by region by themselves.

Map tools

Graticule, contour lines as on a hiking map, an overview map in five projections and a compass. The top of the map shows the moment, the point looked at, the altitude and the region, geographic or political.

Names

Names appear in the interface's language or as written locally; other scripts are transcribed if you like.
