WHICH GPS MAP SET?

Post by mytruck »

Hi all
Need some advise on the following. I have a Garmin Nuvi 1310 GPS complete with the standard SA street map set. What I would like to know is when I start venturing into Mozambique, Botswana which map set should I invest in?, as I doubt whether the current one will do it. I have had a look at GARMAP, although not to sure which one to go for as well I have looked at the Tracks 4 Africa one. Is there a better one of these two or is it pretty much all good. A question which I do have, does the Tracks 4 Africa map set also include all the towns or is it only tracks out in the country that are displayed.
Thanking in advance for any feedback/comments.
Regards

Hi Stefan
What I founded is that you will need both. Also invest in a good set of paper maps.
Also do not trust the GPS completely.Only use it as an aid to navigation.
I recently had to do a bit of a detour with my T4A.it showed a route but when I got there there was no route.Luckily I was in hurry and i had plenty of fuel :thumbup:
