Product Description
The Slingsby Overberg Whale Coast Digital Map map presents an attractive, double-sided layout featuring detailed street and area maps. It depicts relief using elevation tinting, spot heights, and 100-meter contour intervals. The map includes a variety of roads—from minor gravel and private roads to mountain passes—along with intermediate driving distances. Moreover, it clearly indicates routes that are particularly scenic or should be avoided. It also marks railways with local stations.
Side one extends from Somerset West along the coast to Cape Hangklip. It continues from Hermanus to Cape Agulhas and on eastwards to Port Beaufort/Witsand and the Breede River.

Important Notes on Using Our Digital Maps
- Our digital maps are snapshots of our paper maps. They are not interactive—enlarging them or removing elements (e.g., title pane) does not reveal more mapped area. However, you can enlarge or reduce them within their 300 dpi resolution.
- iPhone users: Some iPhones store images in the Cloud, requiring downloads each time you access a map. To avoid this, consider installing a flash memory card so maps remain immediately available, even in areas without Wi-Fi or phone reception. This issue appears uncommon on Android devices, but user feedback is appreciated.
- Recommendation: Download your digital maps to a laptop or other hard drive before transferring them to a tablet or smartphone.
- Important: Digital products are non-returnable. Once delivered, we cannot verify whether files have been fully deleted from your devices—please understand and be fair.
