+bgma79 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Just wondered if anyone knows of a source of free world maps (similar to openstreetmap etc) that can be used on a laptop or portable device. they need to be able to be used with a laptop with built in GPS but no internet access! TIA Quote Link to comment

TIA I would have thought that in terms of coverage for free then OpenStreetMap is likely to be the best you'll get, although that will be patchy in some places to say the least. According to their Wikki there are some options for using the maps offline. Quote Link to comment

+Guanajuato Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mobile Atlas Creator might help you get some maps onto your system. I've not used it, but might Navit be useful? Quote Link to comment
