The foundation of the publishing house in Munich followed, the KOMPASS brand was born and has since been synonymous with up-to-date and user-friendly hiking maps with a wide coverage of Europe. From the very beginning, accuracy, timeliness and reader-friendliness have been at the forefront of map production. The epochal idea of "usable landscape representation" developed into a unique success story.
