Going off to Zambia in a couple of weeks for a mini road trip. Mate who lives there wants a SatNav anyway, so has asked me to bring one. He swears blind that a mate of his has a Garmin with a decent map of Zambia on it, but I can't find one anywhere.

TomTom don't appear to do a map, Garmin have a very low detail one which shows about 4 roads in total. Any ideas?

Garmap do a range of Garmin-compatible maps. See http://www.techshop.co.za/ProductInfo.aspx?ItemId=...

As regards price, 1 Rand is about 9p.

Garmap Southern Africa Streetmaps 2010.2 or Garmap Southern Africa TOPO 2010.2 are probably worth looking at? I've no idea what they're like and take no responsibility for any decision you might make.

Cheers - that's exactly what I was after. "Garmaps" eh? No wonder my mate thought it was official Garmin!
