Martin Abel verified owner — January 19, T4A is a must for every overlander. Especially when going on serious trips. With great accuracy and easy handling we enjoy T4A maps for many years now. Well done guys you are great. Thanks again. Sarel Cilliers verified owner — January 18, I have been using T4A for 7 years and 60 kilometers now and I can not be without it. Especially now that Garmin has replaced the Navteq maps with their own useless product.
Ever since T4A has included city information, I have no need for Garmap, except that inclusion of street numbers would be useful. Franscois Fitzgerald verified owner — January 3, Easy enough to download.
Lost of detail on maps. Accurate tracks and routing so far. Great product and support from T4A staff. Pieter Louw verified owner — December 27, T4A will remain a favourite treasure of mine…I go nowhere without my GPS and just feel safer with the latest maps installed! Excellent product and online service from your team! Rene Viljoen verified owner — December 23, Excellent product, no problems installing.
I have been using T4A maps for many years, and enjoy the regular updates. I do a lot of travel in Angola and find this to be the best resource for routing in isolated areas…. Bob Hanbury verified owner — November 25, I have been using Tracks4Africa for 4 years now. The software get better every year. I stopped using the garmin maps a few years ago since the Tracks4Africa has so much more information. Its the only software you need for planing and traveling in Africa. I cant wait to return in May, this will be my 8th year touring in South Africa by Caravan coming from the United States.
Fabio Cattaneo verified owner — October 29, Cyril Hohne verified owner — October 3, Just love this product and updates on my PC and Garmin since The old CD Viewer 9.

Will be providing info for updating if the areas I hike and travel are mot on the maps. Paul Oosthuizen verified owner — July 30, Well done to the Tracks4Africa Team and keep the good work rolling on! I am currently using only the Tracks4Africa map product in my current Garmin Nuvi Cobus Oosthuizen verified owner — July 19, We just came back from a 3 week trip into Botswana.
Thanks for a great product. It worked like a charm. I cannot travel into Africa without it. Can recommend it to anyone who is doing any from of off-roading in Africa.
It was interesting to compare with my GPS in the car. Most places only had blanks screens in the car — the Tracks4Africa maps had all the detail we required. Thanks for a great job! Leonard Appelgryn verified owner — July 7, When loading the map to the device using Mapinstaller the installer loads the map to the memory card but, since this is a new model GARMIN with 2 cards the installer does not know the difference between the camera or map memory card. To overcome this problem I then removed the camera memory card to ensure Mapinstaller can see only the map memory card and tried again.
This worked, the Tracks4Africa map was loaded succesfully and the device can view it in the maps memory slot. Tony Schlee verified owner — June 19, Great product, easy to install and easy to use. Regards, Tony. Johan van Aarde verified owner — June 15, I like what I see. Janine Reyneke — June 18, Aubrey Croeser verified owner — June 15, Fantastic product! I battled somewhat to install T4A from Basecamp to my Garmin Units via Windows but was sorted out by contacting the technical team.
Kind regards, Aubrey Croeser. Carl and Charmaine Chant verified owner — June 10, Installed on the PC Basecamp for trip planning and the Garmin for navigation. JohanBosman verified owner — June 5, No problems with installing on PC — still need to install on myOregon.
Satisfied with the maps. Details are very good. Not the same problem with Mapsource. Writing is also very small. But otherwise a good product. Janine Reyneke — June 5, Hi Johan — thanks for reviewing our product. In terms of your remarks: 1 there is usually a good reason for this, like for example a POI you are trying to route to is not linked to a route etc.
But please send us an example, so that we can double check. Best regards. Charles du Toit verified owner — June 5, Only logged in customers who have purchased this product may leave a review. Click here to go to Garmins website for Garmins Tutorials. If you have an older GPS unit ie. Mapsource is only compatible with older units — Click here to download a free version of Mapsource and to use that instead of BaseCamp. Your problem should then be resolved. Contact our sales staff for assistance.
Our sales staff will then send you a temporary download link, containing an. Please download this file in the email you will receive from Tracks4Africa. You will be directed to a downloads webpage where you will find the. It is advisable to access the webpage on the internet, via a Google Chrome or Firefox browser for best results.

If you find that Basecamp is running very slowsly on your MAC, and that it is slow to react when you pan or zoom on it:. Neither Google nor Maps. These apps only run with their own maps.
There could be various reasons for this, and it does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the T4A SD Card. We therefore recommend Basecamp for transferring routes to a GPS unit. Firstly, about transferring routes: we do not advise our clients to do this. It has nothing to do with the maps loaded. We normally advise people to calculate their routes on Basecamp in order to do their trip planning.
Then on the GPS on the day of your travel find the destination and let it calculate the route from where you are to that destination. Garmin, for some or other reason, has included a random T4A POI layer on their units as follows for example:. We are reported the issue to Garmin and they have removed it in their latest units: To solve for now:.
Step 1 : Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable the device came with. Step 4: Allow the reinstallation of the map to complete, this will load the corrected files onto your device which will solve the clutter of the Tracks4Africa Pois on the map screen when navigating. If you downloaded the free link from Garmin to install Mapsource — and it gave an error during the installation informing you that you have to have another Garmin software product installed on your computer in order to complete the Mapsource installation, you can try to install MapInstall first, and then try to install Mapsource again:.
Steps on the newer Garmin Nuvi range: Please note that the older Garmin Nuvi range will work differently to the newer units. On the next page, scroll down and select myMaps. All your installed GPS Maps will be listed here. On the home page of the GPS, click on the arrow on the left-hand side of the screen. Click on Map Information and then Select Map. Remember that you may only have one map product enabled otherwise the GPS will give navigation errors.
You are going to get a few warning messages before the final file will open:. If you have tracks and routes in the same file, you will get another error message you can only open waypoint locations, not tracks and routes. You will now get a spreadsheet with a lot of columns. Examples of Compatible Garmin Devices: ie. Some may be outdated. Garmin Aera Range: We have not been using this specific unit ourselves but that from what we can see it should work as the unit allows you to add maps and it has street navigation.
The SD card slot is behind the batteries, inside the compartment Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Solar We do not think that the Fenix would support Automotive Routing, however it does look like you can load additional maps to the unit.
Our maps are compatible to the Garmin format so it should be able to work on this device, but the actual device might not be able to do routing. This means you can use the map as a static map. In Basecamp you would be able to use our maps to create routes and convert to a Course or Track for your watch.
We would suggest you test it out on a demo map. Let us know if you want to do this and we can send you a link to one of our regional maps to test before you decide to buy. Older SD cards may not show up but from our Garmin eTrex 10 ie. Garmin Forerunner does not support any kind of mapping. It is a fitness device not intended for navigation. Garmin Foretrex ie. Individual Mapsets purchased per region from our online shop will work, taken their sizes do not exceed 64MB.
As at none of our regional maps exceeds 64MB. The inReach is actually a repurposed DeLorme unit bought by Garmin and rebranded, however they never changed the firmware to be compatible with Garmin maps, hence the reason our Garmin compatible maps will not work for this device.
Garmin Devices Discontinued: ie. See our comprehensive list of retailers. People like you who record their travel experience and share it with others via our maps. Tracks4Africa collects, catalogue and process these data submissions in order to create a very reliable GPS map. Because we can link a name of a data contributor to each place or road on the map our maps are trusted for its high level of integrity.
Do not expect complete wall-to-wall coverage from our maps. Have a look at our Africa Map on our website. Requirements for your GPS to be compatible with our maps:. The choice of a GPS can be daunting and it is based on a couple of questions ie.
The Garmin Nuvi range can be bought for a very good price. You would be looking at anything from R to R and to be honest, there is not much difference between the entry level units and the more advanced ones. The latest craze is things like lane assist, 3D buildings and other city features.
These would hardly be of any use to the overland traveller. For some people this is not a problem because they mute the voice guidance in any case, but it could become a deciding factor.
The Oregon and GPSMap62 is far superior GPS units for the wilderness navigator, so if you intend any hiking or related type of navigation, I would seriously look at these two units.

To solve this problem you must have your Street maps and T4A maps on two separate memories.

Palapye: on our Then, when you view the same town on our new map version, for example This difference in appearance has to do with at what zoom levels the different kinds of info is switched on and displayed.
More info at higher zoom levels makes the maps much more heavy and slower. On the contrary, The info in This is a necessary evil in order to have a balance between good performance and information. A heavy and slow map will cause much frustration regarding usability. When loading the map to the device using Mapinstall, the installer loads the map to the memory card but, since this is a new model GARMIN with 2 cards the installer does not know the difference between the camera memory card or the map memory card.
