Some sample maps...
Well folks, I'm overwhelmed, thanks for your comments.
I've uploaded a few sample screenshots of random parts of the world so you can have a look at the maps.
With the next release I'll include proper sample maps so you can feed them to MapSource and try them out....of course you'll have to RIDE to those random parts of the world to properly see them in action, no doubt you will ;-)
Comments, feedback & suggestions are more than welcome, either here or you can find contact details in my profile.
If it takes me a while to get back to you dont worry, I'm travelling at the moment but I check email every chance I get.

Errm....all of them, its a worldmap, from 75 degrees north to 60 degrees south & all the way around.
The difference is the level of coverage. The minimum is vmap0 data (similar to the Garmin worldmap/basemap) but with more places.
Next level up is vmap1 which gives more/better road data, and beyond that detailed maps I've been given permission to include. If you download the sample.zip file you'll see examples of each level.

what countries does this cover?
Iceland and morocco would be a good start
THanks RC Mad
for posting much better stuff.
and thanks to Kev ( Monsieur Whatton) for showing me how to get and to use Gadwin 3.5
which I can now do- but it seems a little too late
Apologies for amateurish previous attempts but I tried with what I had...then!
The future looks ....focussed!
Cheers Kev!
so here is my desktop!! one of the better taxis in Nouakchott

Cheers ! Hope you like it.
On a different note...anyone know a company that does 'burn-on-demand' CD's ? Have been trying to find one for the last month but no joy.
Strikes me that some would prefer to get it that way, especially when the mapset gets bigger (like next month!).

crap i can't get the download sample maps to work
signed up got password but it says...
Sorry, your email address or password was not recognised.
twat of a site
Cant figure this out. So far everyone has managed to login (except for one with a broken email address who wouldnt have gotten a password anyway) & only six people have yet to download something.
I reckon it works, but if you're still stuck let me know.
Make sure you're trying to access http://www.smellybiker.com/maps as there are other entry points
on that site.

I don't have the garmin equivalent of the map but this one's great. The ammount of work bob has already done is staggering, I've already managed to find the name of the village i stayed in in India (mamallapuram), trace my route from quito in equador to la paz in Bolivia and go from cape town up to morocco with ease.
Loads of detail as well, whatever you do, don't zoom out all the way, to much info for the computer Or is that too much info for my computer
Admittedly it isn't complete, there are a few areas with little or no road detail, like Columbia for example, or most of the rain forest, there are place names pretty much everywhere and It looks like the major roads are all there,for the entire planet i even found a road on a island in the pacific ocean
It'll be a good buy for world wandering peeps who want a backup to the local maps. I've bought it as i plan on going to iceland and morocco in the future, i'm taking maps but a sat nav is indispensable, can't look at a map whilst i'm riding.
Here's some more pics
the americas (The white areas have little road coverage but still have place names)
australia
morocco (shed load of place names as you zoom in)
bill, I had no problems downloading stuff . I've also found a higher detail map of Iceland from advrider. Might be worth making this map known to the peeps over there in the laying down tracks section, that place has a larger userbase than we do.
The web adress is for the iceland map is http://www.ourfootprints.de/gps/mapsource-island_e.html
All in it's a top piece of work bob

Awww, shucks......blushes.... Thanks ;-)
The 'zooming out' problem should be fixed soon, its down to the way MapSource works with previews. I have a cunning plan and Santa brought me a better laptop - compiling over 2Gb of data choked the last one to death.
There are a few holes in the map, most have some road data thats only shown in the 5km range as the roads are wrongly classed...always a problem with public/donated data and that has to be fixed by hand.

Question: Why do I have to sign up and register to get a SAMPLE ?? 
I'm allready registered on to many sites, so that would stop me from using it..... And I guess that is not the idea of a sample.

Just the way the download code works, it was done in something of a hurry yesterday when someone pointed out there were no samples to download.
Its a good point though, I'll put a link to the samples on the front page so people dont have to register. Thanks for pointing that out.

Right...its sorted & should work for you now, sorry about that. The samples are basically screenshots of random bits of the world, rc_mad posted them earlier in this thread.
I have plans to produce a web-updater for the actual maps but for this to work people will have to register as it needs an account. I'd like it to be able to update the sample maps as well.
Hope that explains it.
