E-WALK PLUGIN

This app in an E-walk plugin (a plugin is an app that adds features to another app). You need E-walk to use this plugin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.at.ewalk.free .

The plugin adds to E-walk the ability to use the French IGN maps, and IGNrando'.

WARNING: these features mostly cover France only.

IGN MAPS

The IGN maps are highly detailed and cover the totality of french territory. Some maps are only available at certain zoom levels. They are the same as the ones used on the Géoportail website (http://www.geoportail.gouv.fr).

The IGN maps plugin adds to E-walk 8 base maps :

• ortho images: a high resolution satellite imagery (zoom levels 2 - 19)
• scan: a scan of paper IGN maps (zoom levels 2 - 18)
• scan express (classic): a scan of paper IGN maps often updated but with less details (zoom levels 6 - 18)
• scan express (standard): a scan of paper IGN maps often updated but with less details, with another style (zoom levels 6 - 18)
• ICAO maps: International Civil Aviation Organisation maps (zoom levels 6 - 11)
• administratives limits: administratives limits map (zoom levels 6 - 10)
• elevation map: digital terrain model (zoom levels 6 - 14)

And 8 overlay maps:

• cadastral parcels (black): map of numerical cadastral information (zoom levels 2 - 20)
• cadastral parcels (white): map of numerical cadastral information (zoom levels 2 - 20)
• cadastral parcels (orange): map of numerical cadastral information (zoom levels 2 - 20)

LICENCES

The plugin allows to see the maps through two licences: Discovery licence (free), and Adventure licence (5.99$USD / month or 14.99$USD / year). The Discovery licence is limited by a monthly quota shared between all the users. Once the quota is exceeded, the maps can't be displayed until the next month.

With the Adventure licence, you can also download the maps beforehand on your device, in order to use them without any internet access.

IGNrando’

IGNrando' (https://ignrando.fr) is a website provided by the IGN, allowing you to visualize treks and points of interest among the tens of thousands available. You can also add and share yours. Those treks and points of interest are mostly available in France only.

With E-walk, you can synchronize the treks and points of interest that you like on your device. Thereby, they will be available anywhere, and you'll no longer need an internet access to see them.
