The Cycladic islands are the major tourist attraction of Greece and as such are usually described in a general way (white houses, colorful boats and the endless blue of the sea). However, each of these fragments of the old Aegean has its own character, its often unknown interior, its history. These peculiarities invite you to get to know them through the "Topo" maps, through road trips and especially through the old web of paths that is still well preserved on many islands.
The "Topo" series represents the latest step in the long evolution of the mapping work of "Anavasi".
The "Topo" series includes maps in scales of 1:100,000, 1:50,000, 1:25,000 and 1:10,000. The maps are constructed in the Greek Geodetic Reference System (EGSA 87), the national geodetic system that was implemented to meet the needs of large land surveying and mapping programs in the country.
Considering that a map is a tool on which the user's safety sometimes depends, "Anavasi" strives to provide the best and most accurate mapping material. Thus, all the work (construction of the base maps, collection and depiction of field data, final map composition) is done according to defined and strict quality and accuracy specifications, ensuring the highest possible accuracy for these specific scales.
In the "Topo" series of "Anavasi", two coordinate systems are displayed:
-The square grid every 1 km in the Greek Geodetic Reference System. It is a complete rectangular grid (orange lines). The projected coordinates of EGSA are expressed in meters.
-The crosses of geographic coordinates every 1 minute in WGS84. These are the intersection points of meridians and parallels of the global geodetic reference system that have been displayed on the map.
If you use the map in combination with a GPS, you can locate your position based on the coordinates provided by the GPS without changing any settings.
