Malaysia: Malsingmaps

In Eastern Indonesia coverage of Navigasi maps is a little patchy. OSM may be better there. Last year (when we passed through) Navigasi was excellent from Lombok westwards.

Rotweiler for good garmin maps of thailand, cambodia, laos and vietnam.
Malsingmaps for Malaysia.
All are better than openstreetmap.
Use them on this moment while risding in Malaysia, Thailand, now in Cambodia, next to Laos and back to Thailand.
Good maps

The way I understand the Rotweiler site is that a "donation" of 50$ is required to access the maps and 100$ for the Thailand map. Can you confirm that?

yes that is correct. but for the 100$ you have access to all the maps and thsat is still a lot cheaper than Garmin.
Malsingmaps except a donation too, but older maps are for free. I used the free ones and they are good.

Malsingmaps are free. There used to be a requirement for two contributions to get the latest version, but even that is no longer the case.

I am using a Streetpilot 2610, but it does not recognise the navigasi maps. Is there a free alternative?
Maybe an older version would work???

That seems unlikely. Does the navigasi map show in the list of maps on your GPS? How did you transfer the maps?

Thinking out loud: I run Garmin/Mapsource City Navigator NT software - meaning New Technology (I think) - on my Garmin Zumo unit, and had no problem utilising the navigasi maps.

Streetpilot 2610 units however - I owned and used one for three years btw (2005-08) - generally integrate older technology, e.g. Mapsource Old format (not NT). So I'm thinking that a 2610 unit can't handle the latest navigasi NT maps.

Just my hunch .. but there again, what do I know .. :confused1:

Yes, that could be it. I forgot that they switched to NT format. You'll have to check on Garmin's site whether or not the SP can take NT maps.

I changed from 2610 to Zumo just because of this. 2610 does not take NT maps.
As backup I have a Vista HCx and this one works perfect with NT maps.

Thanks for your replies. After some more research I found out that the 2610 does not work with the new NT maps.

I don't need the newest maps. Does anyone have an old version of navigasi or mapsource indonesia?
I cannot find any download sources for the older ones.

It's annoying having a gps and cannot use it...

Cheers,

Frank
