The paths that connect the current hiking network of the Lousios Gorge are the old communication routes between Dimitsana and the monasteries of the gorge, as well as the communication routes between the villages and their pastures. Some of these old routes were followed by today's roads, permanently erasing the traces of the older ones from the area. However, many old routes, although preserved, are gradually disappearing simply because they are no longer walked and maintained. [...]
The "Topo" series represents the latest step in the long evolution of "Anavasi's" cartographic work.
The "Topo" series includes maps at scales of 1:100,000, 1:50,000, 1:25,000, and 1:10,000. The maps are made in the Hellenic Geodetic Reference System (HGRS 87), the national geodetic system implemented to meet the needs of the country's major cadastral and mapping programs.
Considering that a map is a tool on which the user's safety sometimes depends, "Anavasi" strives to offer the best and most accurate cartographic material. Thus, all work (construction of the bases, collection and depiction of field data, final map composition) is carried out with defined and strict quality and fidelity specifications, ensuring the highest possible accuracy for the specific scales.
In the "Topo" series of "Anavasi", two coordinate systems appear:
-The 1 km grid in the Hellenic Geodetic Reference System. It is a complete rectangular grid (orange lines). The HGRS projection coordinates are expressed in meters.
-The crosses of geographic coordinates every 1 minute in WGS84. These are the intersection points of the meridians and parallels of the global geodetic reference system projected onto the map.
If you use the map in combination with GPS, you can locate your position based on the coordinates provided by the GPS without changing any settings.
