FAQ - Searching for locations on your Garmin

Having trouble finding a location on your Garmin? The information below will help. If you need further help remember you can contact us at support@gpstravelmaps.com and from our website

(Instructions below are for a Garmin Nuvi. If you have a different model please refer to your owner’s manual for instructions on how to turn maps on and off as well as how to view maps and for using the "near" search function.)

First be sure that the map you want to search is the only one turned on on the GPS by doing the following:

From the main screen of your GPS choose Tools → Settings → Map → Map Info You will now see a list of all maps installed on your GPS and/or SD card. Uncheck all maps except the one you want to search.

In most emerging countries there is a lack of a central address system which can make navigation by the "address" more difficult, so we recommend NOT searching with the Address function. However, there are several other ways programmed into your GPS for finding a destination. You can navigate by:

1. Touching a location on the map
2. City
3. POI - Point of Interest
4. Street Intersection
5. Latitude and Longitude (Coordinates)
6. Your own saved waypoints

All of these methods can be found on the "Where to" screen and they are fairly easy to figure out by simply experimenting with your GPS, but if you need more specific help, please refer to your owner’s manual for your GPS. If you still need further assistance you can contact Garmin support; their contact information can be found at Garmin Support. You could also send an email to support and we can provide a more detailed explanation.

Your GPS will automatically show you maps, cities, and POI’s near your current location, so if you want to be able to view a map and search for cities, intersections, and POIs in a country different than the one in which you are currently located you must choose the “Near…” option after you select “Where To?”

To Search for POI’s in a country where you are not currently located use the following steps:

1. At the main screen choose "Where To?"
2. There should be a button at the bottom of the screen that says "Near…" Touch that button.
3. You should now see a screen that shows several choices. You should choose "A Different City". Then select "OK".
4. You should now see a screen where you can type in the name of a city in the country you wish to view. Choose "Done" when you have finished typing in the city name.
5. You will now see a screen that shows a list of cities. Select the city you typed in.
6. You will now see a menu with several icons you can choose. Select whichever fits your needs best. Select "Points of Interest.
7. You can now select several categories of POIs or spell out a name. For example, if you want to find hotels select "Lodging," restaurants choose "Food," gas stations, choose "Fuel," etc. You can also choose "spell name" and type in the name of the POI you would like to see.
8. After making your selection you will see a list of hotels, gas stations, or restaurants, etc. relating to whichever category you choose.

Visit Stunning Haiti

Bassin Bleu, Haiti

A nation situated on the island of Hispaniola, Haiti has suffered considerably in the past several years, in part due to the destruction wreaked by a 2010 earthquake. But what Haiti lacks in modern amenities and comfortable transportation, it makes up for in natural scenery. This Caribbean paradise boasts truly sublime stretches of pristine beaches, gorgeous cerulean freshwater pools, and lush patches of verdant jungle. Travelers are well-advised to head to Bassin Bleu, a spectacular series of three azure pools joined by beautiful cascades. Dissolved minerals give these pools their distinctive color, and according to local legends, water nymphs live in the grottos of the pools and often come out to sun themselves on the rock. However, they are said to disappear at the sound of mortal footsteps.

Artwork at Grand Rue, Haiti

But there is more to Haiti than just stunning scenery. From quaint coffee ports like Jacmel to Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s bustling capitol city, this country is full of vibrant culture and unique architecture. Pay a visit to the infamous Grand Rue artists, a vast Caribbean junkyard where artists convert scrap into eccentric voodoo sculptures, or check out the beautiful Salubria Gallery, an impressive collection of artwork housed in a blue-and-white fin-de-siècle house owned by American professor Robert Bricston.

Haiti certainly isn’t for the faint of heart, but for those who are brave enough to make the trek, the rewards are great. Of course, once you are armed with a GPS Travel Map, you’ll have no trouble navigating this underexplored paradise.

FAQ - Map Language

Customers frequently ask what language our maps and the voice navigation instructions are in.

Answer: The data and names on our maps match however you would see that name in the actual location.  So if a hotel in Costa Rica is named a Spanish name, you will find it under that Spanish name on our map.  If a road sign in Panama names a street by an English name, you will find that street under that English name on our map.

The language of the voice navigation instructions, on the other hand, is actually determined by you and the settings on your Garmin.  You can set your Garmin to several different languages and whichever you choose is the language in which you will receive all navigation and directions.

Where to Vacation for Great Food?

Some of the fine cuisine you'll find on Bonaire.
Photo from www.caribjournal.com

Caribbean Journal has published a list of "The Caribbean’s Best Destinations For Foodies – 2014." Most of the selections weren't surprising. Eat jerk in Jamaica, seafood in Barbados and Trinidad, and French cuisine in places like St. Martin, Martinique, and Guadeloupe. The really interesting selection though, was little Bonaire. We love Bonaire for it's great diving, windsurfing, and natural beauty, we just didn't realize what a culinary melting pot it is!

According to Caribbean Journal, "it’s also home to our number one restaurant in the Caribbean for 2013, At Sea, and a remarkable diversity of cuisines, tapping into its cultural variety. Side by side, you’ll find authentic Peruvian ceviche, classic Mediterranean bouillabaise, Dutch french fries and Stoba stew, to name just a few."

Where else in the world can you find such a great variety of cuisines AND great natural beauty AND outdoor activities. Well, we could come up with a few places, but right now Bonaire is at the top of the list!
