Mallorca Outdoor map explained
How to read our MT Outdoor map

The red line shows the route of the described hike.

A white „P“ on a blue background indicates a parking area.

An additional horizontal bar beneath the „P“ indicates parking along the roadside.

If the symbol appears faded, the parking area is not publicly accessible.

A white water drop on a dark blue background indicates a natural water source that is tagged in OSM as drinking water. Water quality may change at any time.

This symbol indicates a natural water source whose quality is unknown or which is explicitly not marked as drinking water.

The blue tap with cup symbol represents an artificial drinking water source, for example a fountain or water tap.

Mountain huts without services are represented by the building symbol with a chimney. Basic shelter may be available, but no catering or accommodation services are provided.

Mountain huts with services are represented by the building symbol with a person inside. In addition to accommodation, a simple restaurant or refreshment stop is often available.

A white triangle on a dark background marks a mountain summit.

Two opposing brackets indicate a mountain pass.

The camera symbol indicates viewpoints and photo locations.

Two vertical brown lines connected by diagonal and horizontal bars indicate a gate, which may be locked or closed.

Two black arches indicate a cave entrance.

Hiking paths are shown as yellow lines with a fine brown ladder-style pattern. These paths are generally up to about 2 metres wide. In mountainous terrain the paths are usually difficult to see.

Hiking trails marked as “private” on OSM are displayed with a red grid pattern instead of a brown one.

Hiking tracks are shown slightly wider than hiking paths, and their brown hatching is coarser and the lines thicker. The finer the hatching, the worse the trail conditions.

As with hiking paths, the red grid indicates that access is private.

Hiking tracks without the ladder-style pattern generally have a firm surface.

White roads represent roads that are open to motorized traffic. The width of the road determines whether it is classified as a minor or major road. Many paved „camís“ on Mallorca belong to this category.

Major roads such as regional roads, national roads, expressways and motorways are displayed in colour.

We use hillshading to make terrain features easier to understand visually. It helps to identify ridges, valleys, cliffs and slopes more clearly.

We have added contour lines to improve terrain interpretation. Every 50 metres above sea level, the elevation is labelled. Additional unlabeled contour lines are placed at 10-metre intervals. The closer the contour lines are to each other, the steeper the terrain.

Transitions from green to grey indicate the tree line. The grey mountain areas are generally exposed to full sunlight.
