Terra Incognita

Terra Incognita is a small software application built specifically for helping you view maps from various online sources, such as Google, OpenStreetMap, Bing, and other similar services.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to view and grab maps from the Internet on the fly, without having to go through installation steps.

Terra Incognita sports a clean and intuitive layout that allows you to set up the dedicated parameters with minimum effort.

It gives you the possibility to select the online source from where the utility grabs the maps, preview the image directly in the main panel, and save the current map to PRJ, KAP, MCX, JNX, KMZ, MAP, or SAT file format.

What’s more, you can upload waypoint, track, and route data from GPX, NMEA, LOC, WPT, PLT, KML, and KMZ files, zoom in or out, and copy the current coordinates to the clipboard for pasting them into other third-party utilities.

Terra Incognita lets you pick the area from the map that you want to save, and you can switch between a rectangle and polygon selection mode, and enter the latitude and longitude coordinates.

Last but not least, you can clear the cache, switch to a full screen mode for a better focus on your work, go to a specific GPS position, as well as show or hide the waypoints and tracks.

All things considered, Terra Incognita offers a handy set of parameters for helping you download maps on your computer for offline viewing. Thanks to its intuitive layout, it is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
