"Natural Parks of Italy" shows the map of national and regional parks in Italy. Specifically, it shows the special protection areas - called SAC and SPA - part of Natura 2000 ecological network. The maps are taken from the National Geoportal of Ministero dell'Ambiente and are provided from a WMS server.

The application has been developed independently by the author without any relationship with the Ministero dell'Ambiente.

This application has the following features:

* Shows the map of SAC areas / parks of Italy.

* Shows the map of SPA areas / parks of Italy.

* Overlay with Google Maps™ Road or Satellite tiles.

* Zoom, Pan.

* Selection of shapes representing different parks by rectangle and point (just press the selection tool button and select one or more municipalities).

"Natural Parks of Italy" is built with the "ItacaMap for Android", a programming framework that enables Java developers to build rich and high performance GIS applications for Android smartphones and tablets.

ItacaMap is basically composed of a custom WMS/WFS server (OGC WMS 1.1.1 compliant) and a number of client libraries and application for different platforms (e.g.: Android, Silverlight, HTML5, Windows 8, etc.).
