Vietnam Maps for GARMIN GPS receivers
 

Hi all,

for Vietnam there are now topographic roadmaps for Garmin GPSr. These map is very accurate in position - I guess the best one on the market. You can take a look here: www.gps-vietnam.net .

Bye, Paul

Vietnam MapSet complete: 100 USD (consists of the Topographic Roadmap, the Land Contour Model and the Point of Interests.) Topographic Roadmap: 90 USD Contour Lines: 20 USD Point of Interests: 20 USD

ouch! :blushing:sorry Paul
There is a routeable & free Laos and Vietnam Garmin compatible file in the public domain too
and what about the Smellybiker WORLD map at $50 - it's a no brainer:thumbup1:

Hi,

yes, I know this Laos and Vietnam routable Garmin Map. But this maps is very inaccurate. Rivers are hundrets of meters off position, roads are there where no roads are .... you must test a map or analyze with special tools, then you will see.

Hi,
the web-address for the Vietnam Topographic Roadmap has changed:
WILDGOOSE GPS and Navigation Service | Vietnam GARMIN Maps | GIS Vietnam
And its still the best and most accurate map available. There is no cheap built in source ... only self rectified data with highest accuracy.

This might seem a bit old fashioned but there is a very good road atlas available in Viet Nam. Shows paths that are too small and rough to take even a bike up. This is available for 150,000 VND and along with a compass is all you need.. The fact that they decided to swap the town names around on the ground and haven't yet done it on the maps just adds to the fun of trying to find your way!
