colebatch, heading out this way this summer; I'd imagine that the section between Irkutsk and Yakutsk is fairly well sketched out, anything in particular you can think of that I should try to add?

Hey Tom ... The bit I dont have is between Tynda to Yakutsk. If you are doing that leg either on the way in or the way out, please make a note of cafes, hotels and fuel stations in between those towns.

a GPS way point
Hi, this is an old chat but in case you are still collecting way points.
Here would be a new one at my shop.
Chears!

Yes its close to MuzToo. I added the point to Open Stret map but is still not released online. I wonder how fast they do their releases... maybe I have to try it again. But the coordinates are at my web page in case.

Very regularly/frequently.
I use quite a few OSM maps and download updates more or less every week: I could update them even more frequently if I wished but that will do for me.
OSM update maps are on demand in my experience of loading them to my mobile phone.
i.e. each time I look at the download manager in the app there are a few more available.

you need a program that can read .gdb files. Usually Garmin software like mapsource. Then in mapsource you can individually look at the waypoints, right click on them and see the exact lat and long.
There may be other freeware programs that can read gdb files. I dont know about that. The other option is to download the file, and run it through gpsvisualizer.com ... its a GPS conversion website but can also convert to text tables. I have never exported a waypoints file as a text table ... but That should work.

Colebatch, I'm heading through Tynda, decided I don't have enough time for the Vilyuisky route...
Looks like a pretty dreary route up through Tynda, not really looking foward to it, but will be sure to note what I can...

Updated with some more western KZ waypoints ... thanks Srace7.
Note ... its been suggested that for people who already have previous updates, I should also post an update file (beginning with the June updates above). Just add these updates to your existing list if you prefer to update that way. I will also still post the full updated list in the very first post of the thread.

Kazakh Highway
PS ... I am still looking for waypoints for the relatively major road between Aktube (Aktyubinsk) and Dzhambul.
Anyone?
