You'd think a Garmin map would display on a Garmin Zumo, but it's not listed in compatible devices.
Maybe because Zumo is not touch screen?

Doesn't work on my Zumo 550. I think it's more likely a security/license issue, as it won't even allow me to download and install in MapSource. Garmin UK have confirmed and refunded me my £20.

Back to OSM/Olaf. The 550 is touch screen, but not in the smartphone league! Pressure-sensitive rather than electro-???

I wonder if anybody knows what is the difference between TOPO North Africa v4 Light and TopoActive Africa v6 (besides, obviously, coverage and price):

https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/648409

From the description, both seem to be based on OSM data, and to include contour lines and elevation data.

Reise Know-How digital map (2013)

Talking of maps, the RK-H plastic paper map is one of the least bad for Morocco (latest: 2019), but the digital version seems to have dropped off RK-H's website last time I looked. Could be wrong.

A mate just found this place:
https://www.avenzamaps.com/maps/7075...apping-project
selling the 2013 edition for $8 for phones and tablets.

'Maps purchased here can only be viewed in the Avenza Maps app on iOS and Android'
it says, but he managed to find a way to make it display on a laptop too.
(Annoyingly, the start of popular MS6 round around Taouz is missing. You can see why below.)

Here's another place: 15 euros - about double (can't tell what edition)

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.
