+lem1 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hello, I am quite new to geocaching and using GPS devices. I have been using an E-trex for my first weeks of geocaching because it is cheap, simple, and does the job. I want to buy a better GPS, such as oregon and so on. The only problem that I find is that for instance in the garmin website there is no gps maps (topographic for example) of anywhere in Central America (since I am based in Panama). I dont want to buy an expensive machine which only gives me a point in a not detailed map, which is what e-trex does. Is there any way to get a proper detail map such as the ones in US and Europe for areas such as mine? Thank you! Lem1 Quote Link to comment
+cantuland Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Here are a few websites to try out. Looks like there's hope out there. I got these from a google search for "gps topo panama". GPS Map of Panama from TravelByGPS.com Digital Road Maps for Panama Panama GPS Maps Quote Link to comment
+lem1 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks for your reply. I did see some of those unofficial maps, but I didnt know if it was a good idea to use them. Do they work just fine with Garmin (Or other major brand) GPS and software? Thanks Quote Link to comment
