Are you referring to the Russian maps? I’ve used the Russian maps of Africa with great success in my travels. What do you want to know?

Just a note, you cannot download these maps into any GPS. See elsewhere in this forum for more info or simply ask here again.

For me they are indispensable since few maps exist for the area I travel in (Egypt and the Sahara) even though they’re very old. But I’m not sure if there are better maps for South America you’ll have to ask around a bit.

Hi folks
To Argentina, Uruguay, most Brasil, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru etc. You can get the detailed cartography to the MapSource from http://www.patagonia4x4.com.ar/~pat47/login.php you have to register (it’s free) and wait the confirmation mail and the password then you can transfer the dates from the PC to the GPS. It’s too much complete than the Garmin software and sometimes appear actualizations. I don’t think that the Touratech CD be so complete at less for this part of the world. Be patient, the site it’s only in Spanish.
Javier........

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
