The latest version of our popular mapset is now available on SD Card. Get GPS Maps version 26.05 for up-to-date route information.

 If remote roads call to you, it’s important that your maps reflect the reality on the ground. An old map might show a bridge that was washed away years ago and when you travel on gravel, 30km could take an hour or even double that.  We use actual overlander data to determine distance and travel times, so you can travel with confidence. For our GPS Maps version 26.05 on SD Card, we processed 339 data submissions. This not only added more roads and points of interest (POIs) to the map, but improved the quality of existing data. We are grateful to the travellers who share their tracks so that others can have an easier time of it.
