It only looks better. OSM has not much usefull info than old Olaf´s. It has streets in the cities but out of the principal roads, most the tracks are the old Spanish pistes, it´s not updated.

I don't believe thats quite true Pera, I did a lot of planning for last years trip and Olaf didn't have pistes where OSM did. Olaf certainly has more topo details.


Neither are probably very upto date though

You might be interested in these
Many maps / tools out there! as you say not always up to date but sometimes the best you can get.
Always a good idea to have a paper map, a good compass and the ability to engage 'brain'!

Belive me The Warden, OSM has less data than the Russian ones that Bertrand shows. Old dated info but more than less. Many of the pistes shown in these maps doesn´t exist today.

But the Russian ones are the best for visualise the terrain.

If you know how- you can take an image, for example a screen shot of say google map then geo-reference it.
This image can then be placed in your Garmin and will appear as you reach the coordinates.
It's quite a lot of work and certainly not practical for overlanding- unles, for example you need a big close up of a harbour/ trail you wish to ride etc.
Useful for small areas you wish to explore but images still take up too much room IMHO. It all depends what your needs are.

Yes if you really want to geo-reference each image one at a time and have a spare lifetime to do it in!
OR
The easy way but only if you have the Garmin Android powered Monterra

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.
