I will be travelling to Cambodia agin shortly and going out Svey Rieng to vist a remote village that visited lst year but as I went with a local tuk tuk from Pnom Pehn it may be difficult to find again with out the driver… been thinking about the Garmin you mentioned
or possibly the one of the Nokia phones.
Your opinion would be geartly acepted …. eg is the Nokia with Cambodia map better than using the Garmin.
How accruate is the Nokia with Cambodian maps from Phnom Penh!
Do you know wher in Phnom Penh … (Quote) ” here is someone in Phnom Penh who will install the detailed Cambodia map onto your (compatible) Garmin for just $40 US.

Thanks John

First of all, realize that the ease and quality would be much better with the Colorado, Dakota or Oregon series. Nevertheless, you should be able to accomplish this with your current unit using Moagu…

I have an eTrex Vista HCx. I live on Sumatra island, Indonesia, in the middle of nowhere and I have a satellite photo of my area that I want to download TO my GPS. I have OziExplorer software and I geo-tagged my satellite photo and superimposed my bike trails (.MAP format) but there is no option to send to gps. I also have my satellite photo in jpg & ppt format. Is there any way to convert and put on my GPS as background map (I have 2GB microSD)? Or any other sources of accurate maps for Sumatra?
