Hi.......I Just bought a GPS receiver for my laptop but I dnt have any maps for UAE. So I was wondering if you could give me NMEA compatible maps (UAE) that will work on this device >> electrolaptops.site.yahoo.net/nausbgpsrewi.html This is a link to the GPS I bought. If anyone knows where I could get UAE map PLEASE let me know!!!. Thanx.

Work through the old posts in here. Maps are available for scanning if you know where to look-paricularly the Aviation Map (land vrsion, is without all the aero info).

It says that your device works well with Fugawi, why dont scan your own map and use fugawi. You can aslo try Oziexplorer.

Is it REALLY TRUE? - Are Garmin bringing out tne new Middle East version of the Mapsource next month?? (although only kuwait and Bahrain are supposedly on high detail with desert tracks, but the reast of the Middle east will have many major roads). ;D Hurrahhh!!!! But I shan't hold my breath.......

i just bought the GPS map for the middle east from Prince trading in Deira (next to carlton towers hotel). this is the Abu DHabi dealer shop in Dudai and they're selling for 1800. once you buy the map you can upload it to 2 GPS'.
let me know if you want details on the map.

I am very interested to participate on 50% on price and map. Is it the whole UAE or only the cities? From what date are the maps, is it worth investing so much money? Pls. let me know if we can make a deal.
Send me an email.
kind regards
Klaus

hi Klaus, I've already made the deal with a buddy of mine (sorry) but to answer your question, the GPS if for the GCC (KSA, KWT, UAE, OMN and BAH) and it's very detailed, it include all points of intrest (road) all street names services etc... I've compared with the BMW 2003 edition and I Think the Garmin has more detail.
If you're looking for a map of this sort, than this is the one to go for.
I've emailed you my number, call me if you'd like to pass by and see it on my GPS.
my machine is a GPS5 and my friend's is 176C, he had to buy a memory card though to be able to install it.
Hope this helps.

Hmm V4 there is no such! the latest is Garmin ME version II. I have just got it. You have the right to unlock it with two GPS units and unlimited PC's.

that's the same one i have, i think Klaus was looking to share with someone (as you're allowed to unlock 2 devices) maybe you should talk to him.
