Question 1

What is Iceland Photo Map?

Accepted Answer

A library of photographer-curated GPS map files for Iceland. Every location is hand-picked as a photography viewpoint and shipped as KML, GPX, and GeoJSON files you can load into your phone, GPS device, or laptop and use offline.

Question 2

Which map should I buy first?

Accepted Answer

If you're doing a single-subject trip (only waterfalls, only lighthouses, etc.) buy the matching category. If your trip covers two or more subjects — most Ring Road and 7+ day itineraries do — the All Maps bundle is cheaper than buying two individual maps.

Question 3

Will the files work offline in Iceland?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the point. Once imported into Google My Maps, Gaia GPS, Google Earth, Garmin, or Maps.me, the waypoints live on your device and don't need cell service. Iceland's coverage is patchy outside the Ring Road, so offline is non-negotiable for the highlands, F-roads, and Westfjords.

Question 4

Can I import the files into my GPS app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have step-by-step guides for Google Maps, Google Earth, and Gaia GPS. The files are standard formats — they also work in Garmin BaseCamp, Maps.me, OsmAnd, Locus Map, AllTrails, and any other app that accepts KML or GPX.

Question 5

Is this a one-time purchase?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pay once and download immediately. No subscription. Personal-use license covers your phone, a backup phone, a tablet, a GPS handheld, and a laptop.

Question 6

How is this different from a printed photographer's map?

Accepted Answer

Printed maps don't load into your phone, can't be searched, can't run on a GPS device, and can't update when locations change. Our files are designed to live in the apps you're already using — and to work where the road ends and the signal drops.
