Great navigation app
We used this app extensively on our recent trip through 8 countries in Southern Africa. Very useful for navigation, including when there was no mobile coverage. If you purchase the country guides also shows accommodation, fuel stations etc. Note however that some of the camping info is out of date so we used another app (ioverlander) for that purpose.

Routen für Afrika
Die App ist in Ordnung und leider Alternativlos. Leider etwas umständlich in der Nutzung und ziemlich teuer. (Man braucht die HD Map zzgl. der Reiseführer)
Zoom Levels
Please add more refined zoom. I’ve read your online piece about why you can’t increase zoom levels, and as a developer myself that sounds like garbage. Phones today can handle it, additionally, you could add options to for the map size you want to download.
Please, this app would be many times better if I could get zoom that I can actually use to get myself un-lost. Please!

Absolute Overland Essential
I recently did a road trip from South Africa to Botswana and Namibia.
This app got us out of trouble when the local e-sims weren’t working. 20:00 at night in the middle of the Nxai Hame Reserve we were able to make our way to camp using this app.
No signal required for GPS location.

T4A Guide App
The Tracks4Africa Guide App works great for us, we use it whenever we travel off the main roads, which is often and I won’t leave home without it on my iPad.
The Guide App has helped us in many instances to choose a better, shorter or more interesting route than the route chosen by the Garmin GPS even when running T4A on the GPS
The Guide App is very useful in looking the planned route over on my iPad before we set off to get a good idea of the direction of travel, directional changes, towns, villages or key points along the planned route. That allows me to know what to expect from the GPS routing.
There have been a few situations where the GPS, running T4A, got it really wrong but I became aware of it early on, thanks to my route review before the start. When that happens, we use the Guide App to navigate until the GPS corrects itself or I add additional waypoint to “force” GPS to go where we want to.
Must add that Garmin’s City Navigator gets it all wrong very frequently even in RSA but especially in other Southern African counties.
