Blom, what mapset do you have in there? Latest it Garmap 2011 and it should cover most of what you want to do. Tracks4Africa is, however, your best bet. Load the Garmap software directly into the GPS memory and T4A on the SD card. Then just ensure only one of them is selected under Map Info for use.

A visit to Klerksdorp will sort out your problem ;)

Dit is die going rate, hoe langer jy dit los (die update) hoe duurder raak dit.... :twisted:
