Different map bases

Bikenavi offers six different map templates, from which the user can choose the one that best suits their needs. The options differ in, for example, visuals, road network accuracy, and terrain presentation. The map template can be easily changed in the application settings.

Brief descriptions of the levels

default map

Supposition

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free version of the map database. The map contains information about roads, paths, buildings and other points of interest.

  • Free, no subscription required.
Base map

Basic

A base map helps you visualize the overall picture of the area clearly and in detail.

  • Requires a subscription.

Light map

Light

The lightweight map is simple. Roads and trails are clearly visible on the map.

  • Requires a subscription.

Topographic map

Stump

A topographic map contains a lot of detail, such as elevation contours, small roads, and bodies of water. It is well suited for outdoor activities and visualizing elevation differences.

  • Requires a subscription.
Outdoor map

Outdoor activities

The Outdoor map is designed for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling. It provides detailed terrain information and highlights natural elements.

  • Requires a subscription.

Aerial map

Aerial view

Aerial photos consisting of satellite images help in visualizing terrain, for example when choosing a campsite.

  • Requires a subscription.

Small roads visible earlier – available in limited areas

Bikenavi's additional layer makes smaller roads visible at an earlier stage than before. For example, in Google Maps and other applications, many forest roads or local roads only appear when you zoom in very close, while in Bikenavi's modified layer they are already visible when you look at them from a distance (zoom level 9-13). This makes planning significantly easier, especially when you want to go on more remote routes.

Additional road level available in the following countries:

  • Finland

  • Swedish

  • Norway

Maps for other countries follow the general map layout. If you would like to enable the additional layer in new countries or provide other feedback related to the maps, please send a message through the feedback channel.
