ULTIMATE GPS MAP OF LAOS RELEASED
For Immediate Release: April 12th, 2011
(Chiang Mai, Thailand): Driven By Adventure company (“DBAdv”) has announced the release for general public use the most advanced GPS map of the South East Asia country of Laos. The result of over eight years of continuous data collection, the just released ULTIMATE LAOS GPS MAP from “DBAdv” has in excess of 50,000 points of interest for the user, twice the data of any former GPS maps.
The new and unique GPS map includes all primary roads, dirt tracks, and trails throughout Laos. Included in the data are gas stations, accommodations, mining sites, UXO locations, and Point of Interest tourist destinations. Some of the routes and destinations were so remote they could only be surveyed by use of highly modified off-road motorcycles. None of the data on the “DBAdv” ULTIMATE LAOS GPS MAP was gathered from external sources. For detailed information go to Laos GPS Map

The ULTIMATE LAOS GPS MAP is physically available for purchase on a SD memory card for 1,500 Thai Baht or $50.00 (USD) at the Rider's Corner Bar & Restaurant, Chiang Mai, Thailand, located in the heart of Chiang Mai, Thailand: Purchase : Laos GPS Map

The Driven by Adventure company is dedicated to providing quality, up-to-date, detailed surveys and GPS services throughout South East Asia. Their ULTIMATE LAOS GPS MAP has been hailed as “The best GPS, Internet or physical map available, by near or far!”

We've just travelled through Laos, we were using openstreetmaps, which were detailed, down to street level and for free, i would suggest trying these with a paper map before spending $50.

Mart, you wont find this stuff on your free opensource maps, its been an 8 year continuous project to make this with 50,000 points of interest. If you want to really see the secret beauties laos has to offer away the opensource free highway maps then this is the way to go. Shame you missed the best stuff, maybe next time (even perfect for a Landcruiser).

None of this is on the openstreet maps all unique and fantastic







Openstreet isnt going to get you to the most unique locations in laos (these images are all from the map makers FYI)


There's some more great Asian river crossings here

I had the OSM and the ERSI data (I think?) for Laos. Both were nearly useless when I ventured off of 13 nor did it have many POIs. I haven't used Laos GPS Map 's maps yet, but it sounds promising.

A full featured GPS map is for a well prepared and educated explorer.
Can you imagine touring around Laos and missing this waterfall?

This photo was taken by the Laos GPS map maker.

I use the sun when travelling in Laos - and its much more interesting when you get lost - you get to see places people with gps dont - if you have time and a sense of adventure its a great place - just make sure you have enough fuel and dont ride too fast!

Hi,

I think the price is still good for the Laos map as described. Is the source data for the map post-processed and rerectified? I the past I tested some other Laos map (I dont like to name one) and the accuracy was very poor.

PS: If all people want to have all for free, the developers will stop their work.
