## Description

Mapas de España is a free offline map viewer ideal for hiking, cycling, running, or skiing.

Key features include GPS positioning with no mobile coverage, offline map mode, track tracing and export in GPX, KML, and KMZ formats, support for WMS and WMTS services, and coordinates, heading, speed, and altitude display. The app is multilingual and based on OruxMaps, built as a GIS tool using public map catalogs from Spanish authorities.
