Are you looking for a GPS map that will help you explore Egypt (or Misr, the Arabic and modern official name of Egypt)? Are you searching for pyramids, medieval Cairo, the Temple of Abu Simbel, the Tombs of the Dogs, the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, or the Siwa Oasis? Are you interested in diving at Hurghada, hiking Mount Sinai, or taking afelucca on the Nile? Then you must have this Egypt GPS map for your journey to the Land of Eternity. This GPS map will help you explore the Kemet—the "black land" (referring to the fertile black soils of the Nile flood plains)—and the "red lands" of the desert!
Are you a Photographer on assignment or an amateur photographer looking for amazing subjects? Then use our extensive list of over 42,000 points of interest to photograph wadi (valleys), mountains, islands, lakes, ruins, pyramids, tombs, cliffs, mosques, deserts, gulfs, coves, caves, bridges, seas, palaces, reefs, and so much more! Travel like a local with this GPS map and come back with amazing unique pictures that are not in the guidebooks!
Don't want to drive while traveling Egypt? Then you can still use this Egypt GPS map to find the nearest rail station, walk the city streets, or take a hike. Think of this Egypt map like it was an interactive map that will guide you to your location in Egypt. For a little more than a paper map, this map will be your personal guide through this enchanting country!
This GPS map has it all. It not only has auto-routing functionality, but also offers you detail outside of the car to explore while you walk, bike, or hike!

In our ever continuing quest to make some of the best and most affordable GPS maps for travelers (and locals!) we took some time this month and made three updates to the Barbados map. The two biggest improvements in this map is the addition of a auto-routing option for those who would like that feature (you can still purchase the basic version without auto-routing for the original price of $19.95) and a major data improvement. Details about the updates are as follows:

June 2009 v1.4
*Added 415 new POI's including Hotels, Beaches, Bays, Gov't Buildings, Attractions, Towns and more.
*Added local street with names in Bridgetown and other areas.
*Improved road geometry for all versions.

June 2009 v1.3
*Added routable (directions) into a new version, offering turn-by-turn directions to users
*Fixed road geometry for all versions

June 2009 v1.2
*Added additional POI's
*Added more major roads

The two versions of the Barbados map can be downloaded immediately through our website and the following links:

      Costa Rica GPS Map Update 

The story below is outdated. Please click above to see the current Costa Rica GPS map update.


The Costa Rica GPS map compatible with Garmin GPS units has been updated again this month. Not only have we worked to improve the base data for the map (adding more POI's, local roads in San Jose & Escazu, fixing problems that customers have brought to our attention, etc...) but we have added the option to purchase the map with auto-routing (turn-by-turn directions).

This new feature now gives map users the ability to search for POI's within Costa Rica and follow the prompts of the GPS to their destination. For those travelers who are ok finding their own way to their destinations, we are still offering the map with auto-routing at the same affordable price as before!

We have made a minor update to the Mt. Kilimanjaro Map for Garmin GPS units.  This update focusing on flushing out the points of interests on the mountain for climbers to use as well as the addition of the hiking trails to Meru Peak.  All together, the map has very complete coverage of the entire region around Moshi as well as all the routes up the mountain, streams and rivers coming down from Kilimanjaro, all the huts, viewpoints, water spots and geologic features on the mountain.  This is in addition to local streets and POI's for the town of Moshi, which is the most common staging ground for trips up Kilimanjaro.  We hope you like the map!  More coverage is coming around Arusha, so keep coming back.

Costa Rica v1.6 GPS Map

Costa Rica GPS map update click here - 
      Costa Rica GPS Map Update 

The story below is outdated. Please click above to see the current Costa Rica GPS map update.


We have brought out a new version of the Costa Rica GPS map for the entire country.  This update is big in points, meaning that we have added over 5,500 new POI (points of interest) throughout the country.  This gives much greater detail of the coastal areas of Costa Rica with playas (beaches), bahias (bays), rios (rivers) and much more.

In addition to all the POI's that were added, we also upgraded the topographic (contours) to better detail through the entire country.  This is significant since our previous contours failed to provide detail in the western portion of Costa Rica.  We now have detail throughout!
