Hi all,
i realise i am taking the lazy option here my posting the question but i am nearly gone googely eyed from reading websites.
The plans for the SA trip in April are coming together nicely so now i need to ask about maps and GPS's

I am currently using a Garmin 276C and wondering is there SA mapping available for it, Garmin dont seem to do any themseleves but there maybe a few third party ones about.

Anybody got any personal expericene or advice?

cheers

Wouldn't City Navigator South Africa V6 (LINK HERE) work on it? :nenau

I can't tell on my computer whether it's compatible with a 276c.

I bought a "third party" map of Poland which was advertised as "Garmin compatible" and it worked a treat. In fact it was so efficient, that I couldn't tell whether the screen was showing the "third party" map or City Navigator V6. It wasn't cheap, but it definately got me round rural Poland and Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow city centres with ease. :thumb2
 
That's what I though, googled up the link to SA CN6, and THEN noticed it's posted in 'Americas' which SA is not in.

What country in the continent of South America is required?
 
Sorry peeps i should have said South America, my gf is here next to me know saying SA is South Africa and she is always right :)
 
Any use?

... I'm not a Twat-Nav user (I know, I can't hold out for ever!), but ...

... In June 2007, before my SthAm travels, I was kindly sent the following files: -

- Mapear v3.00-Mapas Electronicos Argentinos.TDB (13Kb)
- Mapear v3.00-Mapas Electronicos Argentinos.IMG (1.7Mb)
- Mapear v3.00-Mapas Electronicos Argentinos.MDX (2Kb)
- Mapear v3.00-Mapas Electronicos Argentinos.IMG (17Kb)

... I believe they are GPS files for Argentina

... If they are of any use PM me an e-mail address and I'll pass them on
