+weston wanderer Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi We are off to Cyprus in 3 weeks and I am looking forward to doing some caching. Please if anyone has been there can you tell me which maps you used? Mapsource doesn't cover Cyprus so I can't download maps to my Legend CX. Getting the cache info is no problem through PQs etc but driving to a nearby location may be! Quote Link to comment
EagleOwl Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 You can use http://www.smart2go.com/en/ on an N95 but it will also work with other phones and PDAs. You can download streetmaps of anywhere in the world. We used it last year on Lanzarote. Quote Link to comment

+weston wanderer Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for the help. smarty2go looks good so far. I'll let you onow when I've tried to download it to the Mio! Also thanks for the contact name. Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment
+gazooks Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Chris, I did 4 caches there April 2006 just to the east of Ayia Napa, half of which were Brandisour's. I used Google Earth to see what was near, PQ'd all the Cyprus caches and then got a local map when I got there. Very different lanscape for caching to East Anglia Quote Link to comment
+LinseyG Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We did 12 out in Cyprus last year (including our first FTF !). All we did was look up the ones we wanted to do in google earth (with the caching overlay on first) and printed out the ones we wanted to do taking them with us. I would take note of any that tell you a 4x4 is required - we did a couple in a saloon car that I wouldn't have wanted to take my car on ! Took us to some places we wouldnt have seen otherwise and we had a great time doing it. We were up the Pafos end of the island. Linsey & Lorraine. Quote Link to comment
+weston wanderer Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have no problem in PQing the caches and downloading them. It's just there seem to be no maps on the cache pages. I think we are spoiled in UK with MemoryMap and always being able to plan a route. Quote Link to comment
+melmur Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 We live in Cyprus and own a few caches out here. If you use Memory Map, I have a pretty good calibrated map I could send you if you want it? Quote Link to comment

+melmur Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Rather than email it to various people, I decided to upload it so anyone can grab it. You can find it here.. www.stevemurfin.com/junk/cyprus.zip Enjoy Quote Link to comment

+weston wanderer Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks, Steve. I've downloaded it. But how do I get it into MemoryMap? Quote Link to comment
+melmur Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Put both the files in the zip into the folder on your PC where your other maps are, then open MM and press CTRL-M, then refresh map list. It should appear in there, then select it. Quote Link to comment
+weston wanderer Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks very much Steve. The map is now in my PDA. Quote Link to comment
