Recommended Posts

Hello,

I will be travelling to Asia (China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam) later this year and want to know that if my Garmin Dakota 20 will work ? I've downloaded the cache info ...but what about maps ?

I'm real new to this so any advice you can offer is much appreciated.

Thanks

The Dakota will work over there but may require a long time for the first acquisition. Be prepared to let it sit, mine took almost 10 minutes when I got to Japan.

 

The base map is VERY basic, almost useless.

 

You can get pretty good free maps at http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php I used these maps in Japan and Korea and they were pretty good. Let me know if you need help getting maps from this site.

Hi again.

 

Guess I should read the manual a little better first before I post. I just read that it contains a worldwide base map so all is good.

 

Thanks

Forget about the worldwide base map. It's utterly useless, even more so in 'exotic' countries.

The best maps that I have found for Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam are from rotweiler:

Most of these are not only detailed, but recently updated as well, and with a LOT of POIs. I just love them.
