How do you load <span class="highlight">Shonkymaps</span> onto a Garmin Nuvi 250w

Thanks Warfer,
No I dont. I just tried to download it but can only find updates? Do you need to buy it or can you get for free somewhere?
Cheers

maps are here;
http://www.shonkylogic.net/shonkymaps/

when downloaded to map source, click on shonky maps in the drop down at top left, then use the map tool to highlight the maps you want to copy.

do you have map source?

Hi S&N,
Nope dont have map source. Can you get it as a download for nicks?

go to the shonky page, click on "system requirements" and there is a description on how to get it. i cant vouch for it as i have map source from a previous garmin unit.

Just curious Kiwi Kia, why don't you think it's worth having it

Hi Kenny,
Presuming you purchased your NUVI in Australia then it will already have CityNavigator installed. I have just done around 6,000 km From Melbourne to Brisbane with a lot of zig-zaging back country travel in the area roughly bounding White Cliffs to Winton to Lightning Ridge. Other then the Bore Track from Camerons Corner and a about 5km inside the Diamantina Lakes park I don't recall losing the road on City Navigator. Also, when looking at gps map co-ordinates before my trip I found fair differences between Shonky and NatMaps. In short, CityNavigator combined with a few Hema paper maps of say - the Simpson etc. and you will get by very well. I was truly amazed at just how good the CityNavigator really is.

Hi Kiwi kia

I did buy my Nuvi in Australia but I do find many roads and tracks not shown on CN2008

It could be that I travel to places that aren't in the UBD

Also you might not know but there is a lot of other detail like mines, dams, peaks, fence line and gates shown in Shonkymaps

I would say there are hundreds of people that do use and agree Shonkymaps are good.

They aren't nowhere near good as OztopoV2 but you got to pay for that.
