  • Why is not my country in TargetMap.com?

    Our aim is to have as many countries as possible in our database but sometimes it is impossible to get accurate maps of every country. We will try to add new countries from time to time.

    TargetMap is a collaborative tool, so if you have a map of a country that we do not have or improves one of ours, you can send it to us and we´ll try to implement it in TargetMap.com. We all will enjoy a better tool if we help each other.

Available Countries

Right now, these are the countries that we have available for you (click on images to enlarge). We will add new ones as often as we can.
If you want us to add a new country and you have an open source map that we can use, we will be pleased to try to implement in TargetMap. This is a tool to share knowledge, so if we all collaborate TargetMap will become a more useful platform.
