I could send you a .gdb file for the route between New Delhi and Ludhiana, but it would be fairly unnecessary except to navigate in and out of Delhi. The rest (Delhi Ludhiana) is a straight road where you only have to follow the signs and keep moving. You really do not need a GPS for that.

Perhaps somebody else will be having points of tourist interest. May I suggest that you use wikimapia for the same? Simply transfer the co ordinates to your GPS, and you have a waypoint that you can to get within 100 metres of using a compass bearing.

There may be commercially available maps too (major cities), but they are not cheap.

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.
