The potential natural vegetation map on your mobile

For those working in the field, but also for those who want to learn more about the potential natural vegetation while on safari, you can bring the potential natural vegetation maps with you on your mobile, even when you are off-line.

There are various viewers that work with the maps. Search for MBtiles in Google Store or in Apple Store. One we have tested ourselves is the excellent Locus Map 3 Classic for Android.

Be aware that the files are fairly large. So if you are on a data plan, you might want to download it when connected to WIFI.

Open this page in your mobile browser. Next, click on one of the links below. The map will automatically download and install the map in your Locus map viewer, ready for use in Locus.

Click on a link below to download the map for your country of interest. You may have to copy the file to a specific folder or there might be an import function in your application. Check the manual of your map viewer for more instructions.
