Overlays, such as property boundaries and berry maps, can be shown on top of any map.

Maastokartat Plus
A Plus subscription brings you more maps and tools. Explore each feature in more detail below.
Plus
The most detailed maps, hillshade and 3D
A Plus subscription unlocks the app's most detailed topographic maps, revealing more features such as natural landmarks, names of buildings and places, and water depth information. Hillshading and 3D maps bring the shape of the terrain clearly into view, so hills, slopes and valleys stand out at a glance. The OpenStreetMap-based outdoor map also shows small paths and trails that you won't always find on standard topographic maps.
Plus
See your track on the map
Record your hikes, runs and outings, and watch your route appear on the map as you go. See distance, time and speed at a glance. Plan routes ahead of time, measure distances on the map, and outline areas to calculate their surface area. Saved tracks can be pinned to the map, used as reference tracks or shared with others. After your trip, review your progress, speed and elevation in charts. If a heart rate sensor is connected, heart rate data is recorded alongside the track.
Plus
No signal? No problem
Download maps for the areas you choose ahead of time, straight to your device. Maps open faster this way and are always available, even where the signal is weak or missing entirely. Downloaded maps also work in flight mode, which helps save battery on longer trips and hikes.
Plus
Places and tracks saved to your account
Cloud synchronisation automatically saves your places and tracks to your account and keeps them up to date across all your devices. When you switch phones, reinstall the app or use more than one device, your data is automatically restored after you sign in. Your places and tracks stay safely on your account even if the device breaks, is lost, or the app is uninstalled.
Plus
See where your friends are
Share your location with other Maastokartat users and follow their movements on your own map. Their movement is shown on the map as a track, just like a track you record yourself, so you can easily see where others are moving and where they have been. The feature makes it easier to travel together in the outdoors and also brings added safety for anyone moving alone.
Plus
More information on the map
See property boundaries and identifiers on top of the map of your choice. Together with the topographic map or aerial imagery, it's easy to see where the boundaries run. The feature is useful for land ownership, hunting and forestry work. Bilberry and lingonberry maps, in turn, complement the base map by showing promising berry terrain.
Plus
Help for fishing
On Plus maps, depth information for Finland's lakes and sea areas is shown from various sources, including sounding points, depth contours and depth zones. Depth zones are clearly coloured, making depth differences and underwater shapes easy to see on the map.
