If you want to travel Africa informed, Tracks4Africa’s Traveller’s Africa GPS Maps will keep you on track. The latest update, version 19.05, has new roads and tracks in many of Africa’s most popular destinations. Here’s what you can expect.

All our maps are based on first-hand traveller data and routinely updated, so you set off on your trip with confidence. For Traveller’s Africa GPS Maps Version 19.05, T4A’s experienced mapping team included new roads and tracks in several countries, added Points of Interest (POIs) and implemented data corrections.

A total of 345 data submissions were processed for the new version, improving overall road coverage by 2.3%. That includes new roads in Botswana, Mozambique, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Heading to Mozambique soon? You can now set your route via the new tar road between Maputo and Ponta do Ouro. In Uganda, there are new roads around Kampala as well as tracks in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Ongoing research in Zambia has resulted in one of the most comprehensive travel maps available.
