Mapdirector is amazing!

Mapdirector is a huge time and brain saver, and I cannot express my gratitude enough! I've been using it to share adventures with current and future Nepal trek clients, and also as part of immersive virtual tours of Mount Everest and the Everest region.

By far the best tool to present your hikes

Mapdirector is a great tool to showcase my hikes and make them even more interesting. There are so many options you can set, such as the colors of the track or the base map and the weather. I use it to show my hikes on my social media accounts.

What the hell is a gépex file?

I really like the colors and the maps but how come my printer can't print them? I hope you also get a real job.
