The TPC series at the 1:500,000 scale is an extremely-popular and widely-used series of maps. EVC is the premiere source of this map series, holding a massive collection of commercially-available TPCs. The TPC was intended primarily for use as an aeronautical chart, although its content has many applications. It is designed to provide an intermediate sale translation of cultural and terrain features for pilots and navigators flying at very low altitudes (below 500 ft.) through medium altitudes or low altitude high-speed operations.

TPCs provide essential cartographic data appropriate to scale. Given that TPC’s provide an excellent overview of an area, our customers use these maps for many purposes. Examples include large-area project planning, regional analysis, and deployment of field staff in applications such as Engineering, Mapping, Humanitarian Relief, Oil & Gas, Mining, and many others.
