Hi . . just install v9 Thai maps for Garmin on my Nokia N95-2 , But.... i dident get any POI ...... any 1 had same problem ?

All I can suggest is to change the map display scale.

The Thai version has the address search function,don't know why the English version doesn't have it.Probably has to do something with the fact that it would be useless anyway due to the spelling differences.

I think most translations from Thai to English have errors. I live near Asia Hotel at 'Ratchatewi' or 'Rajatewee' or 'Rachathewi' or 'Rajtaevee'.

Nobody can tell me how to write the correct name of that area.

In my GPS - if I key in 'Asia Hotel' it will find it. The rest you have to know.

One issue that came up when we discussed the options on a previous thread was whether Garmin is infact still using the ESRI map in its products. I bought the Garmin SE Asia map (which includes Thailand) on micro SD card just over a year ago to use with my NUVI 250, and I am not quite sure what I have. While the map seems okay in cities, it isn't very good at distinguishing paved roads from semi-impassible mud tracks out in rural provinces and I very often over-rule its directions. I've heard that even the single Thailand NT map now supplied by Garmin is not the ESRI map (i.e. this is a different rumour from the one that said the Garmin map was always one year behind ESRI). Does anybody know the current position?

Garmin stopped to use ESRI maps. About 1 1/2 years ago.

They now use Teleatlas.

I am using the Thailand Street Map v9.0 NT, which I loaded a month or so ago.

When the GPS boots up (loading maps), it shows Whereis (Oz map) and ESRI (2008) as the two providers, so I assume ESRI is still being used by Garmin in Thailand.

Of course.Thailand streetmaps V9.0 is from Esri.I only don't know why you are confused because you can't have purchased it from Garmin.

I have a couple of ThaiV9 maps amd SoutheastAsia maps if anyone is looking. They are for garmin units.

PM me if you would like to know more!

I assume you provide them for free like the link to the Thailand v9.0 you got from another poster yesterday.

I am not confused. I have V9, and it is from ESRI. Any further information is superfluous.

Yes I got a link to a locked map, I'll give yah the link if you want, have fun to unlock it.

I have Plug&Play maps that are on SD Cards, Plug and Play! Can be used on most Garmin units, Not locked to one unit!

Insert Sd card and drive away,

No worries if you upgrade your unit!

I will not need the map since I have it already,thanks for your offer.However unlocking a map is a piece of cake with the Garmin key generator.I only wonder,if you had the maps already,why you asked for them from another poster and then the next day have some for sale.

:D

isn't anybody here using sygic mcguider/drive ?

isn't anybody here using sygic mcguider/drive ?

It all boils down to the Thailand map available for use with your GPS. Is there a Thailand map available for/from Sygic and is it auto-routing?

the map is available (03-2009 from tele atlas).

ofcourse it's door to door navigation.

there a windows, symbian, iphone and win-mobile version.

i'm in europe atm so i can't really test the thai map.

the european maps work great tho'.

better than TomTom imho.

I have telenav with AT&t and I can't live without it, literally. I have had a Garmin nuvi 750 and TomTom GO 720, and Telenav literally has at least twice the POI. I remember those expensive map updates too, telenav has FREE map, poi, voice, etc updates. I first saw telenav mentioned in the New York Times and then I went to their website: telenav.com $10/month is a great deal, especially considering it offers more features than a $600 standalone unit.

1 post.. Spam ??

So what maps for Thailand does this system use ??

Gary said: "Maybe some day people and businesses will start putting coordinates on their addresses"

Yes, as essential as a mobile number & email address.

I can't wait to get my Garmin 60 handheld, so that I can reg the location of various plant vendors at SL2 & JJ market.

These places are like rabbit warrens & I couldn't find my way out of a paper bag.

My name cards already have my co-ords.

Helmut had no problem finding me.

Thats one real advantage in the UK.. You just whack in the postcode and it takes you right there..

With an internet equipped phone almost any biz listing is easy to find in seconds.
