GPS’ing in S.Africa?

Hi All,

I am planning a trip to South Africa in August and was hoping someone could help me out with GPS software / maps for S.A up through Botswana and Zimbabwe? Many Thanks...

What GPS if any do you own? Garmin do have a SA map product, but it is obviously only for suitable Garmin GPS units.

Oliver,

You could try OziExplorer. If yyou check the Yahoo OziExplorer gorup you will find a couple of Guys from S Africa there who may be able to help with maps.

The best resource for Garmin based units can be found at www.tracks4africa.com. They have mapped most of Southern Africa, mainly for 4x4, based on actual tracks collected, and is very comprehensive. Volunteer based so submit your tracks if you use thire product :-)

For street navigation you can use Handymap. www.handymap.co.za

I'm sorry I'm an italian man who would like to go in SA for 3 weeks and I would like to know which is a better (and cheapper) way to install in some phone like Nokia or Qtek (models who accepte the TomTom maps) a South Africa's MAP if is possible speaking in Italian language ?
If is possible to exchange an Italian map with a SA map... 8O
Thank you for a reply and many compliments for your work.

HandyMAP 2005 full trial version works for 15 days. It is free, and you do not need to pay a cent.
