On my 60Cx - I can have both .. well more actually - for the Isle of Man ! have my map (that I made myself .. and garmins city nav euro, in britian i have garmins city nav euro and bobs world map ...

In africa I have
wanderlust
garmins world map
tracks 4 africa
and some others I have combined into one set

So that is 4 .. err make that 5 with marco topo too .. forgot them ..

All overlay one another and it can get confusing - just turn some off .. which you turn off is the one furthest from the truth when you are there.

Normal service will be resumed asap.....
Hi all,

I've been working on the smellybiker.com website for the last couple of days, amongst other things the wanderlust stuff has been merged with the main site.

Its taking me a while to move accounts onto the new system, hope to finish it today but while thats going on you might notice some weirdness.

Should be finished soon, please bear with me.


Update: All sorted now, back to normal

Lifetime membership
Hi,

Sadly, the lifetime membership is'nt available anymore - I'm not happy about it but the hosting costs were killing me.

The price of membership is unchanged (GBP 25), but instead of 'download access and updates forever' this now includes 12 months of access.

An additional 12 months access will cost GBP 10 - not much but this should cover bandwidth charges etc.

Existing 'lifetime members' are *not* affected by this change, if you've already signed up your membership will never expire.

I dont want to dent my karma so I'll give an extra 12 months membership to any HUBB'ers who sign up before December - just PM me via HUBB so I know you came from here, tell me your 'smellybiker' username and I'll sort it out.

Is Wunderlust all I'll need?
I'm about to ride through North, Central and South America. I have a Garmin Zumo 550.

Will the Wanderlust World map be all I need for my Garmin? I'm new to GPS so not too sure how it all works yet!

I'll also be taking paper maps for back up but I'd like to use my GPS as much as possible.

This software looks fantastic, but I was thinking of going down the PDA route instead - specifically the Pocket Loox.

Do you need a garmin GPS (plus the software), or will just the mapsource software be ok? If it's the latter then I can just throw it on the PDA and everything'd be hunky dory.

thanks,

Alex.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
