Following the instructions of Motorcycle Mama, I was able to upload the Philippine road map to my Nuvi The device works well with the Philippine road map. The only caveat is that it does not know that some of the roads in our area in Paranaque City are closed by several village associations - but no problem with me, I know the place very well anyway.
The Nuvi is very useful in navigating other areas of Metro Manila that I'm not familiar with. By the way, Nuvi is the entry level product. The reason for buying the entry level was that it was basically experimental on my part, as I'm not sure if it will work in the Philippines. I'm satisfied however with the Nuvi that I bought. It worked wonders for me in Orlando, and it is working well so far here in Manila. Other useful functions of the Nuvi are as follows - world map, world time, currency converter, calculator, and picture viewer.
Just wondering.. With the C it went pretty far away before it did. Easy there grasshopper. Slow down. First of all, on internet forums, posting in all caps is considered shouting, so try not to do that. Your GPS unit will work everywhere on the planet. The "G" stands for Global. The basemap on your unit probably contains a very crude map of the Philipines. Be sure to carefully read the instructions for installing them particularly if you don't have MapSource installed on your computer.
I downloaded the maps to my and am very happy with the detail and info on the maps. Quite impressive for a free product! How do I transfer the downloaded file to my Garmin unit?
Do I have to change the filename, etc.? Please help. After transferring the maps from Mapsource to my I decided to play around with some simulated routes in and around Manila. I found that there was a reasonable POI database of things like restaurants, recreation centers, landmarks, shopping and the like. It wasn't maybe as extensive as what we have on our Garmin maps but still pretty good.
I was also impressed with the simulated routing between arbitrary locations I had picked out within Greater Manila; it appears to give enough detail to allow one to navigate the city streets. Don't know if I would trust the maps in the smaller towns and rural areas. Also found Mt Pinatubo, an active volcano, and its hiking start point for those very adventurous travellers.
All in all I'm very impressed with these FREE maps and appreciate all the work that was put into compiling them. Can I use this map in Garmin Nuvi ? I tried to save the map I downloaded then re-started the unit but it didn't work.
Had installed it on my without any problem. I noticed a new map was available beta for newer garmins like nuvi. Has anyone tried this out yet?
I had to abort the connection. The map was installed, but you need mapsource to view the map. You can download mapsource from the Garmin website. The map is normally updated weekly. Teleron, You can use the contour map as a navigation guide for mountainous areas. The separate contour map is also available in the wiki site. It should work. Maning, Thanks. I have downloaded the file [gmapsupp. Does this File also contain the Contour Map? Can I install a Philippine map for this model? Are these two the only applications that I will need?
Kindly provide me the installation details. Thanks for your help. For Map update. Meralco Ave. Julia Vargas Pasig City. City navigator and roadguide is better than osm. Complete Philippine maps streets and poi, one way, u turns and even the house number and the hotline of establishment.
