Hi! I'm Alfonso. It all started in 2000, when we moved to Sri Lanka with the family. After 30 years of hiking in the 'west' with excellent topomaps, I was shocked not to find decent maps for many parts of Asia. Only a couple of months after the US govern-ment had switched of the 'noise' on all GPS signals, I arrived in a region where there wasn't even a decent road map! Since that time we started an insane quest: making our own maps, based on available material (satellite imagery, local maps, GPS tracklogs from friends) and logging all our own trips anywhere with a GPS. It took us 4 years to map Sri Lanka, including street maps of some urban areas. Next came the Maldives (even most marine maps are wrong!), then the Indian Himalayas (for which even the famous US military maps are grossly incorrect). Currently we're uncovering the secrets of Oman. And Nepal and (Chinese controled) Tibet are also well under way, and some parts of Borneo are finished. What do our customers have to say about it? Well, nothing yet: it's just hitting the market. BUT we did spread it to some knowledgable people, experts in the region. See what they have to say. TESTIMONIALS
