Cartography

​​les cartes lofotenHiking maps (paper)
Three maps on a scale of 1:50,000 cover the whole of the Lofoten islands. You can buy them once you arrive in the islands at bookshops, most food-shops, petrol stations and tourist offices. It is cheaper to buy them in the Lofoten islands than on line. They are not very detailed and the marking of the routes is sometimes rather inaccurate. They are, however, the best available unless you decide to go for a handheld GPS with a vectorial map database.

Frikart.no – free access vector maps for your Gamin GPS, PC or MAC - Free

Frikart.no offers free downloadable maps! Their accuracy and quality is in our opinion as good as the other paying maps available on the market. Even better, frikart.no’s maps are on a single file that covers the entire Norway (instead of the 10 different maps that you’ll need to cover the country when using the maps powered by Garmin® for example).

The following maps can be downloaded for free (for GPS, MAC and PC):

  • Roadmap (road map)
  • Topo Summer (hiking map) - Download here: GPS file, Mac installer, PC installer, Installation manual (in English)
  • Topo Winter (hiking map including ski trails) 
  • Roadmap II (road map, designated by the Norwegian Mapping Authority - only in Norwegian)
  • Topo Summer II (hiking map designed by the Norwegian Mapping Authority - only in Norwegian)
  • Topo Winter II (winter hiking map designed by the Norwegian Mapping Authority - only in Norwegian)
  • Trails - overlay map (this map contains only hiking trails and bike trails, it is used in superposition with buyable maps such as the "TopoPro Garmin" series. 
  • Cross country - overlap map (same principle as for the previous map, but for ski tracks) 

Help instructions to instal and use these maps on your PC, Mac or GPS devise, can be found on frikart.no (instructions are in English and Norwegian).
