Choose gmapsupp zip
Decompress
Copy map to a folder called Garmin in either the sat nav or memory card.
Done
Best is, alas, meaningless.

Openfiets it's a bit like topo
OSM 'routing' can produce some very interesting detours...
Olaf isn't routeable
Then you have Garmin Maroc Topo map
Reise Know-how map for Maroc is very good.

I'm just wondering how many more times we need to say the same thing ad nauseatum
Doesn't anyone search anymore?

Maybe people could look in the Navigation Forum and particularly this thread

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...rsus-osm-73220

Nav and mapping has been regularly discussed as Bertrand mentions above, and the search function might help find an answer that has already been addressed or even just looking in the right section

Perhaps, but this discussion here is specific to navigation in Morocco (as opposed to navigation in general), and the title of the discussion you cited, which is "Olaf versus OSM" doesn't exactly lend itself to easily figuring out that that discussion addresses electronic cartography for Morocco.

Yes, I agree, it does get a bit boring having the same thing said over and over.
I guess the corollary of this is how many more times are we going to be asked why didn't you use the search function.

Several good reasons to ask the question afresh.

*Search facilities are great if you ask the right questions, but often quite useless. Too many key words and you get no results, too few and you end up with heaps of drivel.

*New question gives all the experts who have come across their expertise at great expense or hardship to get the satisfaction of passing it on to someone who appreciates it.

* there is always the possibility of learning a new twist to an old problem or a completely different solution may be proposed that takes into account new circumstances

*Questioner gets up to date information that in a "rapidly changing world" may actually be critical to his safety.

*Questioner straight away is able to start networking with the responders and that can be worth heaps down the road.

And as stated, it gives people yet another chance to complain that newbies are using the forum to interact with people instead of using the search feature.

Forget the search engines, ask away.

Yes Tony - true - but I would also add to your list:
Search and ye shall find - not just the Hubb but Google etc
.
There are few questions which have not already been asked on the web. So I'd say use the search engines and do some work!

It should be remembered that 'spoon feeding' is normally reserved for babies
(Nothing to do with newbies or oldies!)

...And (sorry for the thread resurrection) Googling brought me to this one on the forum first...which seems to contain more than its fair share of (yawn) "Y u no search?!"

Asking a question on a forum is a form of searching because some people are excellent knowledge bases, even if that's just a tip for where on the forum to read.

My Google search pulls 241,000 results - does anybody seriously expect that I should read each one prior to asking a damn question on a forum I infrequently visit?

Don't worry, Betrand - I'll not be asking you for advice on what is the best sat nav for Morocco.

I was going to say 'Welcome to the Hubb' but I note your acerbic post and I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

I respect your point of view, Mawsley, it should be said that there is a wealth of information and 'how to' on this site. This has been provided by well meaning people who already have knowledge or pertinent information to offer to others out of the kindness of their heart.

When I and others suggest people search, it is done to avoid repetition and clutter too- not to mention your imposing on other people, often the same, to spoon feed you an answer you need- even more so when you state "prior to asking a damn question on a forum I infrequently visit?"

I've never understood why it is some individuals, without a hello or a how are you, just roll in, demand answers to a problem they have through a lack of knowledge then get the hump when it is suggested that the information is already available for anyone who simply works just a bit to search the Hubb.

And as for your last 'volley' - from your post, it is clear that you have not taken the time either to read the many informative posts on here comparing the various merits of different sat. navs as well as smart phones as possible alternatives.

The 'you catch more 'flies', Mawsley, with honey' adage still holds true.
Posts such as yours, imho and alas, are the kind which do not encourage more experienced members of Horizons to give of their time, knowledge and valuable information. - Au contraire -
