free garmin maps for new zealand
 

The New Zealand Open GPS Maps Project for Garmin Mapping GPS
they cover all of new zealand and have been put together for free by a great bunch of guys, far better than the maps that you pay 200 quid for from garmin

Yep, I definitely agree. :thumbup1:

I've got the freebie NZ map(s) downloaded onto my laptop's HD, and I have nothing but huge praise for graemewi and his colleagues over on the NZ Open GPS Project site. True altruism (a nice change).

Help
 

Hi,
probably just me doing something wrong,
I have D/loaded the following files
20080301_FREE_OpenGPS_NZ_Maps_Setup.exe
20080307_FREE_OpenGPS_NZ_Maps_Setup.exe
20080315_FREE_OpenGPS_NZ_Maps_Setup.exe
20080330_FREE_OpenGPS_NZ_Maps_Setup.exe

But when I install this one
20080330_FREE_OpenGPS_NZ_Maps_Setup.sfx.part1.exe

I am asked to insert a disk with this file
20080330_FREE_OpenGPS_NZ_Maps_Setup.sfx.part2[1].rar

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong????
Thanks

Wow. Just found this.

Thanks!

This sounds great, may have to head to NZ again one of these days. Does anyone have recommendations for a cheap Australian set of GPS maps.

Hi Bob,

are you thinking of something like this?:

As far as i know these maps are not capable for autorouting but anyway.... quite cheap!

OSM maps are auto-routing and updated weekly.

Thanks for the tip. Did a quick look and will work on it some more tonight. From what I saw the maps are much better than what I had in South America and it says they are free. Is there a catch? Much better than what I got from "Smelly biker".

Bob:scooter:

OSM maps are built on the wiki principle: users draw maps on a blank slate, meaning they are incomplete, some roads are spot on, some are inaccurate. Other than that I can see no catch.

Be fair and update the map, though.

Smellybiker's Wanderlust: I think one of Bob's contributors has done a lot of work there, but Bob hasn't published the map yet. I don't know why... I haven't given up hope yet.

Help please?

I think you need to load them up via the Garmin Mapsource or Basecamp programs.
