HOW TO USE

INSTALLING FREE LAOS AND VIETNAM GPS AUTO ROUTING AND TOPO MAPS

  • DOWNLOAD ZIP FILE
  • UNZIP, THEN RUN THE INSTALLER PROGRAM WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO SELECT FOLDER TO INSTALL TO
  • OPEN GARMIN'S MAPSOURCE PROGRAM
  • FROM THEN ON, YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO :-)
  • YOU COULD ALSO USE SENDMAP OR IMG2GPS TO LOAD THESE BUT YOU'LL LOSE THE ADDRESS SEARCHING AND GLOBAL INDEXING FUNCTION, IF THERE ARE ENOUGH REQUESTS I COULD UPLOAD A gmapsupp.img FILE FOR THOSE PEOPLE WITHOUT MAPSOURCE

USING THE MAPS ON A GPS UNIT

These maps are made up of individual map tiles :-

  • Roads and Highways
  • Water features
  • Vegetation
  • Contour lines (2 files)
  • POIs, Land and Geographical features (2 files)


Just turn on or off the relevant map tiles on your GPS whenever you like to speed up screen refreshes (although I have no problems on a 60 CSX model).
