is somewhere free Morocco map for garmin etrex?
I heard there are some custom made, vector maps available for some gps devices. Wonder if any of them you have verified in Morocco and can recommend and tell me where I can get it. Besides mine paper one I'd like to have nav too.
thanks

Pick one:
a) The Mapper got lazy and did not map the road detail.
b) the 'road' has many tracks and picking one of them was too hard for the Mapper.
c) the Render smoothing algorithm malfunctioned.
(Mapper - person who puts the data into the data base. Render - person/organization/program who takes the data and 'draws' the map.)
Principle: If two points are joined by a line there should be a road there. If there is no road then there should be no line.
I've made a few straight lines in OSM. I know there is a 'road' there .. but it cannot be seen from the satellite view. I'm not likely to go back there due to current restrictions so a straight line is as good as I can do. I trust the user to 'see' there the straight line is an indication of the road and not the absolute truth.

For pistes in the interesting parts of Moroc, Olaf is very good (and free). The pistes are decades or more old so just because it hasn't been updated in years makes no odds for me, except some tracks are now paved.

Straight lines
Hi
I've been playing around with Basecamp in the last week and also had the same problems. I'd hoped that the OSM maps were routable, and if you play around with the routing options (such as Road Type Avoidance) it fixes itself!
PB.

You'd think there'd be some people willing to share their Moroccan tracks and POIs, if only to draw attention their trip/ride report ;-)

There are, and by using the search function you might find who has offered to share track logs

Nah. there's only about 5 posts in this section that even mention GPX files. Chris' has fuel POIs and a bunch of way points but no tracks.
Often you get people sharing tracks of their trips and the routes they took. That's what I was getting at.

Maps
I found donkey trails on OSM that led through the middle of nowhere in Morocco... Some hikers must be pretty down with OSM, cause we were struggling on a KTM EXC 450 without luggage and a Honda 250... OSM is the best so far, most Pistes are on there, at least southern Morocco anyway. THAT kind of stuff is even on OSM:

I followed an OSM piste last year which was an underground pipeline, but that's been the only error I've had with the mapping
Viagens site seemsto have no content at present, maybe under maintenance
