Head of the Peloponnese, although detached along with Ilia in the region of Western Greece, Achaia is endowed with all the goods of the Peloponnesian land. Fertile plains and well-trodden mountains compose beautiful and serene landscapes that are suitable for travel throughout the year.
The "Topo" series is the latest step in the long-term evolution of the "Anavasi" cartographic work.
The "Topo" series includes maps in scales 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 the map is a tool on which the user's safety sometimes depends, "Anavasi" strives to provide the best and most accurate cartographic material. Thus, all the work (construction of the substrates, collection and recording of field data, final map composition) is carried out with defined and strict quality and accuracy specifications, ensuring the maximum possible accuracy for these specific scales.
In the "Topo" series of "Anavasi", two coordinate systems are displayed:
-The square grid at 1 km intervals 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 at 1 minute intervals 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.
