KystAtlas contains maps with detailed navigational and land information in scales suited to both planning and execution of the trip.

Along the coast and water ways the pictograms shows the way to idyllic out ports, bathing spots, marinas and guest harbors.

On these pages there are aides to find your way in the atlas: On the overview map you see all the detailed maps included in this volume. The numbering starts with map sheet N01 at Strømstad, and follows the coast up into the Oslo fjord and further to Lista (N79).

We have also made room for an index and a list over the names of all the map sheets in the book.

The maps are a combination of the traditional land and nautical maps, and has great detail both on land and at sea.

The detail map on the right-hand side is in the 1:40 000 scale. This makes it possible to get more details than in normal maps. Bathing spots, hiking trails and outports are all marked with an easily spotted pictogram.

On the left-hand side is an overview map in the 1:100 000 scale. Here it is easier to get an overview of the larger picture. A frame shows the area the detail map covers.

Sun and summer, bathing, the sea foam, white sails, small boats, fishing and being with friends and family. This is what we dream about, but the sea can also be dangerous.

Each year people die on or near the sea - and many of these tragic events could have been avoided. It is thus important that you know what to do to avoid that dangerous situations occur.

Equally important is to know what to do if an accident do happen.

On these pages you will find information about any eventual inland waterways covered by the atlas, like:

The name index contains all names which appears on the detailed maps. The names are sorted alphabetically, and after each name the municipality name is shown in brackets.

Most entries are classified in various types (e.g. urban, water, etc). This is illustrated with a small icon to the left of the name.

In order to fit as many names on the map as possible (and also in the index) we have abbreviated descriptive names. A complete list of these abbreviations can also be found here.

the legend describes all figures and symbols used in the maps. There are several groups of symbols, all which are described in both Norwegian and English:
