What is new on the T4A GPS Maps – Traveller’s Africa 19.10 T4A GPS Maps 19.10 comes preloaded on a micro SD card with standard adapter, ready for Plug & Navigate. This SD card can be used on most map capable Garmin units and has been tested with latest Drive models as well.

The SD card also contains installation files for PC and Mac users who want to install the maps on their computers for trip planning or for transferring maps to older Garmin units such as the 276c, 76csx, previous generation eTrex, etc.

The map growth is organic in nature. We processed 247 data submissions for version 19.10. These data submissions not only contribute more roads and POI’s to the map, it also improves the quality of existing data by means of corrections. The overall road coverage has increased by 1.6% from 19.05.

Change log from selected data submissions

We are currently busy with research for a book on Zambia. This research always has a positive effect on our maps. We discover new places, fix old ones and add new roads where required. You can expect our Zambia map to become a very mature map, packed with useful information for the independent self-drive traveller. For this release we have increased the points of interest by 9% and roads by 4% for this map. Zambia and Zambia’s road coverage is now more than double of what it was in 2017.

East Africa has again seen significant growth as we continue to update our maps in this region. Points of interest increased by 4% and roads by 12%. This time Uganda and Rwanda were the focus.

Rwanda is a small country with good road infrastructure development over the recent past. We have updated the main tar roads around Lake Kivu as well as the city streets of Kigali. These now all have street names according to the new naming convention used in the capital city.

In Uganda we have included a lot of minor roads that were not on our previous maps and the map is becoming more and more mature.

We have taken part in yet another fuel stop survey. This time it was Morocco and we have increased our fuel stops in this country tenfold. The total points of interest increase is 71% with about 2000 new fuel stops added to the map.
