Tracks4Africa Guide is a homegrown high-quality GPS navigation app – and is your trusted friend when you’re out in the sprawling African bush travelling to some off-road destination. There’s much more to this popular mapping platform than just accurate turn-by-turn directions and an impressive list of interesting points of interest en route (more than 50,000). It also provides a wealth of invaluable information to help keep you safe.
Star Walk
It’s irresistible. Whether you’re a budding astronomer or casual star-gazer, once you’ve experienced Star Walk you’ll never look at the evening sky the same way. Perfect for hiking holidays and camping getaways, just point your smartphone at the sky and Star Walk acts like your personal celestial companion.
