Gary A Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 My ESRI map is quite detailed but I'd like a map on a CD to use on my computer. No GPS capability is needed. Sometime back we were looking for a location and someone apparently had a SUPER detailed map on their computer. They furnished information that was NOT in my GPS. They were able to furnish GPS coordinates. I have not been able to locate the thread using search. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuian Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Google Earth/Maps.... or get a Bartholomew Map of Thailand - found them pretty good and helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 If you want offline (no internet connection) then MapMagic do excellent CD maps many are dual language. My all of Thailand map is invaluable, pretty detailed too Check out your local bookstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I believe MapMagic is the best and it is available at a reasonable price from most bookstores. Don't expect every track and trail however; none that I have seen are that detailed. http://www.thinknet.co.th/06/thai/home_th.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the Think Net Map Magic and besides not being as detailed as the GPS ESRI map, it is too dated. I do have Map Source installed and have been trying for a long time to get the ESRI map to work on my computer with no luck. What am I doing wrong? Transferring from the GPS doesn't work and there is no import option that I can see in Map Source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the Rotweiler maps? As far as I know the map from ESRI cannot be downloaded from the unit; even when using MapSource.

Gary A Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 As far as online maps, Google is about as good as they get. Unfortunately with a slow connection, they are all too slow to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray23 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Ok I'm new to all this so be nice how do you get Map Source? Purchase CD? Purchase through down Load? What is the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Mapsource is the garmin app, should have come with the garmin when you bought it. If not it is on the garmin site.. Mapsource is of course not much use without the maps. And to be honest mapsource is a truly horrible windows app, stck in the 90s for quality. I wish they would open the interface up (they wont as they are afraid of map theft but its rife anyway) and let people build google earth tools.

ray23 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Maybe I do have it. my zumo 450 came from the states new. There is a CD, but it appears to be a instruction manual. I will take another look at it. I have the S/E Asia map loaded. This all being new to me no telling what I am missing in the process, Thank goodness I have until October to learn it.

Digitalbanana Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 As far as online maps, Google is about as good as they get. Unfortunately with a slow connection, they are all too slow to use. Use gmapmaker to suck the maps of the Google, Yahoo or MSN map servers and keep them on your hard disc. I do this for PC and Pocket PC mapping on the road. Whilst Google Maps are the best for Thailand by far at the price in both Thai and English (free) I find Yahoo maps easier to download and read on a mobile with the better contrasting colors despite only being in English. These maps are geo tagged raster images so not searchable however as is online paid version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take another look at it. I have the S/E Asia map loaded.This all being new to me no telling what I am missing in the process, Thank goodness I have until October to learn it. Turns out I had sitting here all the time. Problem is I have the Thai map in the GPS so when I try to load it, it runs out of room. There is a custom upload. That would solve the probelm but I have no idea which files to keep and which ones not to load. At this point I have get rid of what I have in the GPS now unless I want to find a route in America Everything is backed up on disc. So that part doesn't scare me. I'm trying a second down load now I deleted a lot of files that haven't been used for years from my documents. But I think the problem is going to be in the GPS memory not the computer we will see. But in any event I will still have to get rid of the Ameican maps not going to help me much here. Does anyone know what those files would be listed as? I want to keep the map source capabilty Edited March 15, 2009 by ray23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray23 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Tried again still wouldnt complete the upload has to be a custom upload I have no idea how to do that, where is that on off thingy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
