EGYPT GPS MAP 

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.

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The story below is outdated.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!

New Website!!!

This new design offers and will offer in the near term more pictures of the maps in the GPS units, a new webstore option that allows you to pay directly through Paypal with instant download of the map you have choosen for your trip.

This is the third update to the website since 2006. Despite adding more and more maps over that time, the website has been slow in updates. This new site helps keep things moving forward.
