T4A GPS Maps are a set of 14 regional GPS maps covering most parts of the African continent. If you are a tourist or business traveller and looking for a GPS map to guide you through Africa then you would appreciate the accuracy and detail of T4A GPS Maps.
Our maps are constructed from GPS data sourced from the T4A Community of travellers. People just like you who record their travel experience and share it with the community via our maps. Tracks4Africa collects, catalogue and process these data submissions in order to create a very reliable GPS map. We link a name of a data contributor to a place or a road and this gives our maps integrity. Read more about our T4A quality standards.
Our uniquely African GPS maps are routable in most parts of Southern and Eastern Africa and can in fact give you turn-by-turn directions from Cape to Cairo. Do not expect complete wall to wall coverage from our maps. We only map places that are relevant to travellers and we endeavour to construct the safest routable GPS maps in Africa.
We have the most comprehensive and accurate list of protected areas such as nature reserves in Africa and we support the Mapa project in order to keep this resource the most relevant and accurate inventory of conservation areas in Africa.
T4A GPS Maps will take you to the most incredible places on the African continent and we boast a very comprehensive set of tourist destinations. Be it the Ngorongoro Crater or Gorilla trekking in Rwanda or simply a very good restaurant in Cape Town you are after, we have them mapped.
We have an incredibly rich set of points of interest which is absolutely relevant to the independent traveller in Africa. Our maps cover more than 65 000 points of interest ranging from activities, attractions to fuel stops and emergency services. We have accommodation such as hotels, guest lodges, backpackers as well as the most comprehensive listing of camp sites in Africa. For each point of interest we have a little landing page on www.padkos.co.za/listings/ where people can share photos and details about these places. The maps carry a reference between the POI and its landing page and in return the landing page will take you to where the place is on Google Earth.
Release Dates: T4A GPS Maps are released twice a year in May and October. The release number of the map corresponds with the release date. For instance, version 9.05 would be released 2009 May and version 9.10 would be released 2009 October.
Free Upgrade: You are entitled to a single free upgrade of your purchase. This upgrade will be for the very next release following the one you have purchased and is not transferable. This would mean that if you buy version 9.05, then you would receive version 9.10 free of charge.
Compatible GPS Devices: T4A GPS Maps are compatible with Garmin map capable GPS devices only. We will very soon launch our maps for HandyMap as well as RoadAngel GPS as well.

Another unique feature of our maps is the fact that you do not have to buy all of them at once. You could make a selection of only the regions or countries you are interested in from the table below or if you would like to take advantage of a great discount buy the lot.
The T4A Map is a GPS map constructed by travellers for travellers, people who are serious about travel safety and even more serious about their environment.
