Soviet Military Maps is an excellent mobile map application designed for off-road trips, adventurous travels, and expeditions. Whether you are planning a cross-country journey to the Sahara Desert or a trekking tour in the Himalayas, the Russian topographic maps offer a reliable alternative to other map sources. They provide detailed topography, including many small trails and unpaved roads that may be absent from other map sets.
These Russian maps also come with additional English labels for ease of use.
Important Notice: The Soviet Military Maps were primarily created in the 1980s and may not be very relevant for industrialized countries. Outside Africa and Asia, you may find OpenStreetMap (OSM) or Google Map layers more practical.
Please note that this app does not offer direct turn-by-turn navigation; however, you can easily switch to Google Navigation via selected waypoints.
The Russian Topo Maps Pro provides off-road navigation with topographic maps from around the world, predominantly sourced from the Russian General Staff. For many regions in Africa and Asia, these maps are still among the best available topographic resources.
