Maps and POI

We have prepared Points of interest for map and navigation applications which may help you to find your way to lots of places during your GAP2017 stay in Třeboň.
You can use any map application supporting .kmz. KMZ file with POI is here.

Here are just two of favorite applications:

LOCUS - Locus Map Free - Outdoor GPS (Android)

One of the best outdoor map application. You can even prepare your own maps and use them or use many maps on-line or off-line.
