One of my favourite hobbies is hiking<\/a>. Leaving the car\u00a0behind for one day and taking a long walk through nature. Simple and cheap. All you need is a good pair of shoes, something to drink (and eat) and… a good map!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to maps, a lot of companies appear with high prices. Google Earth<\/a> \/ Maps<\/a> has made a huge step bringing these kind of data to any people (with a good Internet connection and a good browser<\/a>). However, it’s hard to print and it’s street-oriented, rather than Nature-oriented, which means that Google bought only detailed maps of the cities, the places that I try to avoid when hiking. :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve found a nice site with maps for many many countries<\/a>. It has all Portuguese maps<\/a>. They were made by the Portuguese Army<\/a> and can be acquired on paper for about 5 \u20ac. This is a nice solution for hiking lovers: choose the appropriate map on the site and then go to Army and buy a high quality version on paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
