Get Africa at your fingertips on your GPS

It is late afternoon on a lovely dirt road somewhere in Kaokoland. Your delight in the beautiful sunset is spoilt by the uncomfortable realisation that you don’t know yet where you are going to sleep tonight.

If you bought Tracks4Africa Maps on a SD Card, you do not need to despair. You have Africa at your fingertips! With the help of the Africa Guide, which is on your SD Card, you never ever have to get stranded, not knowing where to sleep, buy food or get emergency help. You can even read up on nearby attractions and activities!

The Africa Guide is loaded onto T4A GPS Maps SD Card.

If you have a Garmin GPS and use Tracks4Africa GPS Maps, you can literally look up a whole continent of information while you travel. Because the information is downloaded onto a SD card you don’t need an internet connection to browse the Guide. Your GPS will find your location via satellite which enables the T4A Africa Guide to find accommodation, or whatever it is that you need, nearest to where you are.

 The newest version of the Africa Guide (14.10) has information on 49 232 Points of Interest (POIs) relevant to the self-drive tourist and will be available on our new SD card release from leading outdoor stores by mid October.
