Free map for GPS of Brazil

For quite a good detailed road and city map of Brazi :

Downloads

Than download the ´TRC-BRASIL´ which is the most complete of them all.

Only Sao Paulo has just the major roads, but e.g. Rio is very detailed.

Thumbs up Obrigado

Thanks a lot for the link.

Just put it into my GPS and it looks good.

This will be very useful riding around here in Brazil.

After a 5 days here I love Brazil (although the heat wave is killing me! )

well here in southern Brazil it is more a wet wave at the moment...

Just in case you need a good (and free) GPS map of Argentina and Chile too look at GeoRed
Go for the GeoRed V6.91.

GPS de Argentina y del ConoSur

Is all in spanish and you have to register first. (takes some days before you are get permission to continue).


Boa viagem!

they have updated their GPS map of Brazil. E.g. Sao Paulo centre is fully detailed as well now. Many POI´s too. Still for free!

Projeto Tracksource

take the TRC
Be sure to check the Autorouting option at the bottom before downloading, have heard from some that it is not working, but at least with my Nuvi and GPSMAP 60 CSX it does

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
