Garmin Zumo maps

Hi everybody. I'm planning a trip across Europe to Jordan this year, and have a Zumo 660 with European maps. But they don't really cover Syria and Jordan. Anyone know how I can add maps of these two countries? PS, I'm on a Honda Deauville in case you're interested.

Brilliant. I hadn't heard of OpenStreetMap. Just checked their Middle East maps, and they'll do. Now I've just got to work out how to put them on my Zumo. Meantime, thanks for steering me in the right direction.

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.
