A region of outstanding historical significance for modern Greece and at the same time a whole world of exploration, filled with archaeological sites, Byzantine and post-Byzantine religious monuments, castles, as well as numerous modern towers and tower houses. Once you pass Oitylo or Gytheio, the map of Mani will guide you to the microcosms hidden behind the tourist facade.
The "Topo" series represents the latest step in the long evolution of the cartographic work of "Anavasi".
The "Topo" series includes maps in scales of 1:100,000, 1:50,000, 1:25,000, and 1:10,000. The maps are constructed in the Greek Geodetic Reference System (EGSA 87), the national geodetic system implemented to meet the needs of large land surveying and mapping projects in the country.
Considering that a map is a tool on which the user's safety sometimes depends, "Anavasi" strives to provide the best and most accurate cartographic material. Thus, all the work (construction of the base maps, collection and representation of field data, final map composition) is carried out according to defined and strict quality and accuracy specifications, ensuring the highest possible accuracy for these specific scales.
In the "Topo" series by "Anavasi", two coordinate systems are presented:
the square grid every 1 km in the Greek Geodetic Reference System. It is a complete rectangular grid (orange lines). The projected coordinates of EGSA are expressed in meters.
The crosses of geographic coordinates every 1 minute in the WGS84. These are the intersection points of meridians and parallels of the global geodetic reference system that have been displayed on the map.
If you use the map in combination with a GPS, you can locate your position based on the coordinates provided by the GPS without changing any settings.
