We have a good selection of thematic maps of the continent of Africa, which are listed below. We also have a good stock of thematic, topographic, and travel maps of the individual countries. The ex-British colonies tend to be better mapped than the ex-French, ex-Portuguese, or ex-Belgian colonies. Please see the individual listings for the following countries for more detailed mapping.
Tracks4Africa GPS Maps for Africa. Tracks4Africa, v 11.10. This chip includes over 666,000 km of roads throughout Africa, plus nearly 110,000 points of interest. Our uniquely African GPS maps are routable in most parts of Southern and Eastern Africa and can in fact give you turn-by-turn directions from Cape to Cairo. Do not expect complete wall to wall coverage from T4A maps. They map places that are relevant to travellers and they endeavour to construct the safest routable GPS maps in Africa.
T4A GPS Maps will take you to the most incredible places on the African continent and we boast a very comprehensive set of tourist destinations. Be it the Ngorongoro Crater or Gorilla trekking in Rwanda or simply a very good restaurant in Cape Town you are after, T4A have them mapped.
T4A have an incredibly rich set of points of interest which is absolutely relevant to the independent traveller in Africa. Their maps cover more than 100,000 points of interest ranging from activities, attractions to fuel stops and emergency services. T4A have accommodations such as hotels, guest lodges, backpackers as well as the most comprehensive listing of camp sites in Africa. For each point of interest we have a little landing page on www.padkos.co.za/listings/ where people can share photos and details about these places. The maps carry a reference between the POI and its landing page and in return the landing page will take you to where the place is on Google Earth.
T4A GPS Maps are compatible with Garmin GPS. This SD card contains all of the T4A GPS Maps for Africa, and is plug and play ready, i.e. insert the SD card to your compatible GPS unit and start navigating.
T4A GPS Maps are compatible with Garmin map capable GPS devices only. Garmin StreetPilot and Nuvi 3760 series are not compatible (SD Card and download links). Please note that Garmin users must have Garmin MapSource or Garmin BaseCamp in order to view or load T4A GPS Maps to their devices.
The SD card also contains installation files for PC and Mac users who want to install the maps on their computers for trip planning or for transferring maps to older Garmin units such as the 276c, 76csx, eTrex, etc.

Africa Historical Political Wall Maps
Africa Map 1909. National Geographic Society. This map is a reprint of the NGS Africa map published in 1909. This historic map of Africa takes you back to 1909, a time when the "Dark Continent" was barely known in the outside world. A time when the only way to get to far off places like Abyssinia, the Congo State, and Bechuanaland Protectorate was to take a long sea voyage, then travel many miles by rail. National Geographic was among the first to bring this amazing land to the world, and this incredible map provides a time capsule into these times. Artistic cartography and painstaking detail make this a map for any collector.
The 1909 Africa map features:
Country boundaries that show Independent Territories and Congo State, along with territories under control of Egypt, England, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, France, and Portugal.
Railroads in operation and those that were proposed

Metallogenic Map of Africa. 1:5,000,000. CGMW, France, 2006. This is a 4-sheet series that complements the Geologic Map of Africa (66-1401) above. A major objective has been achieved with the publication of the International Metallogenic Map of Africa, produced by the Council for Geoscience, South Africa, under the auspices of the CGMW. The map supersedes an earlier version of the International Mineral Deposit Map of Africa (Sheet 1), produced in 1991. The geological background is based on the International Geological Map of Africa, 1:5 000 000, 1985-1990, up-dated where applicable. Mineral deposit data (location, name of the more important deposits, commodities present, status, shape or type of deposit, orientation, and size) are portrayed against a background depicting the chronostratigraphic succession of sedimentary and volcanic sequences and intrusive magmatic bodies, the geotectonic setting of orogenic domains, or genetic host rock environment, and distinguishing the lithology of magmatic and metamorphic rocks. Mineral deposits are numbered and referenced according to a 5° latitude x 5° longitude grid.
