xpat-021 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I would like to know if there are any free downloadable GPS maps available for SA. If so, where could I find them. Quote Link to comment
+DamhuisClan Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I would like to know if there are any free downloadable GPS maps available for SA. If so, where could I find them. I just received this from my openstreetmap list ~~~~ Hi Guys, Using mkgmap I've created an OSM routable map... Seems to work for me. http://www.firefishy.com/za-gmapsupp-18022009.img.bz2 Install instructions available here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map...ss_Storage_Mode Map can be viewed without a Garmin GPS using: GPSMapEdit (windows): http://www.geopainting.com/en/ QLandkarte (linux/unix) http://www.qlandkarte.org/ Garmin MapSource... later, requires registry hacking. ~~~~~ Hope this is usefull.

+Carbon Hunter Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You can also browse around this site - although it it aimed at the Garmin Quest - there is a downloadable free routable world base map - not sure of it's effectiveness. I had it loaded for a while - but it was not great - even in places where I did not have coverage (like Cairo). I prefered the Garmin non-routable basemap. My call - go with the original - it's far better and will cause you less heartache (even if it comes at a price). Quote Link to comment
