You will probably have to buy a Garmin Map for Morocco for US$100, UKP85.

City Navigator® Morocco NT on an SD Card.

You will have the option of buying the Morocco Mapset as a download or on an SD Card. Currently you wouldn't be able to fit it (a downloaded Morocco map) on the Garmin Internal Memory if you have the normal Western European Map set loaded. The SD card is best until Garmin modify their software to allow you to chose a download to an optional SD card (which you may have installed for MP3 files, etc). as the storage option.

Morocco isn’t on my Zumo, it looks like you need to get the “City Navigator® Morocco NT” map (cost £85) or “City Navigator Middle East & Northern Africa NT” maps (cost £115).

But note that detailed roads are only available in the north of Morocco. Click the “coverage” tab here:-

I detest downloads from the Garmin site but I have been very badly let down by their mail order options so, for me, it’s the best way of buying new maps.

Have you registered your Zumo on the site? Everything is done via your “My Garmin” web page.

You will have to save them on to the SD card but they should work fine from there (I have all of North America on mine and it works just fine).

A pain to download though, the software appears flaky but I think it is because the files are so big. Just start it running and go away (better still, start it before you go to bed). The time remaining and progress bar are just a load of garbage on my system. May be better if you just download the one country though.

Good luck
