New version of Morocco Topo GPS maps

New version released today with extended coverage around Tanger, Fes, Marrakeck, Casablanca. Many new or redefined pistes, hotels and petrol stations.

See GPS Vector Map Morocco for details. Unless you particularly want the topo overlay with contour lines, I normally install just the road/piste maps.

If I post someone a 128mb miniSD card, could they load these maps up for me and send it back?

I dont have a PC but Olaf tells me it it is that simple.

thanks

Hi Chris,

I'd be happy to copy the maps on for you, but looking at the link posted there is an exe file, so I presume it is not a straight copy? If you can tell me what to do I could give it a go, unless there is someone else who has experience with these maps/files and actually knows what they are doing.

Send me a pm if you want to go ahead.

Pieter

Hi Pieter - I meant 'post' in the old fashion bloke-with-a-sack way.

Metus - we'll arrange it.

thanks

Yes, I did get the "post" bit.

Glad you have it sorted.

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.
