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!

BARBADOS GPS MAP UPDATES

This is an older blog posting. To see the latest Barbados GPS map news then click the link above.

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:



We're having so much fun mapping this area of the Caribbean that we're looking into making maps for Trinidad/Tobago, St. Lucia, Grenada and more!!!

Costa Rica v1.8 GPS Map (with routing)

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The story below is outdated.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.


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!
