Here we present an electronic version of the printed map of Prague, which is intended for those who want to familiarize themselves with this wonderful city.
The edition contains a map of the public transport and suburban trains.
It also contains two city maps: a key map, presenting the most part of the city’s area, and a big-scaled one, which shows the historical center. You will also find a separate map of the right bank of the Vltava river - Staré Město and surrounding districts (including the Wenceslas Square).
The edition also contains a key road map of the western regions of the Czech Republic, which is an important addendum to the cartographic description of Prague. Main roads and their types and numbers are presented. The edition contains not only the road map of the western part of the Czech Republic, but also of the neighbouring countries. The railway lines are also shown.
The most important inhabited places are inscribed in two languages (in Russian and Czech).
The edition also contains a street index (in Czech) and lists (in Russian and Czech) of the most interesting sites, museums, theaters, hotels, sport venues, malls, etc.
The main roads and pedestrian zones are marked, underground stations and lines are shown, as well as tramway lines (with tramways’ numbers and their stops). Railway stations, jetties and funiculars are shown. The historical names of some areas are presented. The most important sights (palaces, temples, theaters, etc.) are marked and inscribed in Russian and Czech. Pictures of the most interesting sights are presented. For those traveling by car parking areas are marked.
Highlights of the app:
1. You can work offline.
2. You can navigate your way to any desired map section through the traditional index map or simply by turning pages.
3. You have the ability to magnify individual parts of a map, search features and bookmark interesting pages.
4. You have the ability to add your own information to the map (comments, addresses, telephone numbers – including the ability to dial directly from within the app).
5. When online, you can transit from any map section to a corresponding section of a service of your choosing (Apple Maps, Gоogle Maps, YandexMaps) and back again.
The advantages of the electronic version of the map:
- It does not bend, tear or become lost at the most inopportune moment.
- The ease with which you can search, magnify and examine details, add notes and additional information – utilizing the power and features of today’s devices.
- It has something magical, something that does not exist in its electronic equivalents. The map was created by living people, who labored over each centimeter of the map, it was not created by robots. And it has all possibilities of contemporary electronic platforms (smartphones, tablets and other gadgets).
The quality and art of traditional paper maps is being replaced by much less attractive automated digital maps. Our app brings these excellent paper maps into the mobile age, helping to ensure they continue to provide you with both knowledge and enjoyment – it would be a tragedy if they were relegated only to libraries, inaccessible to most people. We want to give a second life to paper maps. This app is for people who love good old printed maps and want to go with the times.
