Official map sources for NomadTracks

National mapping agencies and publishers give away some of the best cartography on earth — topographic quadrangles, alpine sheets, public-land maps — as georeferenced PDFs and GeoTIFFs. NomadTracks imports them unlimited and free, aligns them automatically, and puts your live GPS position on them offline. These guides show where to get each one and how to bring it in.

NomadTracks is not affiliated with or endorsed by any mapping agency. Always check the agency's current licence terms for your intended use; the notes here are a good-faith summary as of June 2026.

Bringing your own map instead

Not every map comes georeferenced — a scan, a plain PDF or a photo of a paper sheet works too. Set a few control points and NomadTracks aligns it in about two minutes, with a live accuracy readout.
