bgarland Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Other than custom made Topo maps, I was not aware of any commercially available non Garmin Street or Topo maps that could be loaded directly into Garmin GPS receivers. On another forum I just saw this site referenced for topo and street maps of Mexcio that can be loaded into Garmin map units. www.lbmaps.com The product looks interesting and I heard from a user that has been using them for 3 years and loves them. Anyone else use this product or know of similar commercially available non-Garmin maps that can used with Garmin GPSrs? Edited March 28, 2007 by bgarland Quote Link to comment

+GSVNoFixedAbode Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 There's quite an extensive list of non-Garmin maps available for Garmin units. New Zealand is very well serviced, from the Open Source (free!) auto-routing street maps here to Topo maps from individuals and companies ranging from $NZ150 - $350 approx. More details if you search through the NZ forums in the software section. For other international maps, check the catalogue at http://mapcenter2.cgpsmapper.com/ Cheers, G. Quote Link to comment
bgarland Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Thanks. I guess I had a sheltered US view of the challenge. :-) In the past I was looking for US Topo options and found the only non-Garmin choice was to custom build your own. That's oviously not the case for some international areas. Thanks. Edited March 28, 2007 by bgarland Quote Link to comment
Laurontario Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Anyone else use this product or know of similar commercially available non-Garmin maps that can used with Garmin GPSrs? TRAKMAPS - a company located in Quebec. They have wonderful topo maps for Ontario and Quebec - much more detailed that Topo Canada. However, this comes at a price. The entire Ontario cost 299.00 CAD. But, as I said, there is a huge difference between this maps and those from Garmin. Quote Link to comment
+CiscoHiker Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I do use these mexico maps often and have helped me quite a bit even in areas where they didnt have street level detail. If your going to do any driving in Mexico these maps are by far your best option. I have the Mexico atlas and topo atlas. Quote Link to comment
