LVM forest maps available on cellphones and tablet PCs

JSC "Latvian State Forests" has developed forest map application software "LVM meža kartes" (LVM Forest Maps) for all Android devices. The application is available on Google Play store. Thanks to this new application, inquiries about your location upon entering the forest to gather berries or mushrooms, as well as the nearest forest roads, will be unnecessary, furthermore, information about recreation areas and tourist attractions will be of free access at all times.

The application uses the same map as the one seen on mammadaba.lv/en and lvm.lv websites.

The LVM forest maps application lets you use the maps either through an Internet connection or by downloading them on the device; furthermore, using GPS will pinpoint your location in state forests. LVM forest districts are marked in bright green, but forest roads – with orange.

The application also offers information about LVM tourism objects, recreation areas, nature trails, and tourist attractions.

The entire territory of Latvia is represented on a map of scale 1:75,000. Several regions are also available in scales 1:20 000 and 1:10 000.

The application can be found on Google Play store via the key word LVM.
