Base Maps

NepalBASE NPL – Countrywide Basemap of Nepal

NepalBASE NPL with Relief Shading

We extend our series of Nepal maps by a basemap which covers the entire country of Nepal. The map was created especially for people who are travelling through the whole country but don’t need any detail trekking or street maps (e. g. travellers by bus or plane, who only want to enhance the receiver’s basemap). Because of it’s low scale it is not capable for trekkers and for carnavigating. But it will improve the receivers basemap with several main roads and highways and with topographical contour lines. But please note: the map is not routable (What does that mean?)!

If you are looking for a map for trekking or navigation, please have a look at our detailed topographical maps or street maps, which also offer automatic routing.

All our maps are compatible with Garmin®-GPS-Receivers, which can display maps in Garmin® vector format. This includes all “On the Road”-Receivers as well as all “On the Trail”-Mapping-Handhelds. The maps could be used directly with your GPS-Receiver and can of course also be viewed on your computer with one of your favourite GPS-Software like Mapsource® or Basecamp® (free of charge). For using the maps on your GPS-Receiver you have to transfer the maps to your GPS-device. After transfering, the new map is available together with the receiver’s basemap. The software for transfering the maps to your GPS-receiver is included, so there is no need to have additional software for using the maps on your receiver (Windows only).

On your computer you can plan routes and treks, look after sights or other waypoints (like lodges, campsites, etc.) you want to visit or you can even prepare and reconstruct self-recorded tracks. The digital topographical maps are compatible with many software products which can read maps in Garmin®’s vector format, including Mapsource® and Basecamp® (free of charge), Sendmap®, Touratech QV® and many more.

Accuracy:
