The new release map data includes basic street-level changes following ongoing construction and modifications to South Africa's roadways, including new interchanges on the major highways and new roads.
Garmap Africa Series 2010 also includes information on stadia, parking areas, fan parks, park and ride/walk sites, drop-off points, ticket offices and pedestrian walkways for sports fans and tourists visiting SA.
Certain points of interest include a additional information, such as photographs, brief descriptions and contact details identifiable on the GPS screen by icons.
Special features on Garmap's 2010 2nd Edition map include:
"Users can also pair their Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones with compatible GPS units and, if a POI has a phone number attached to it, they can easily dial the venue to make a reservation at a restaurant, for example," Crozier points out.
Garmap Africa Series 2010 2nd Edition PC- and Mac-compatible DVDs can be purchased online from the Garmap website or at any official Garmap stockist and retail outlet for R20 (excluding map license).
Most map updates are R349 depending on the type of map installed on users' devices. However, if a new Garmin device with an older map data version was purchased on or after 1 January 2010, users will qualify for a free update of the equivalent map installed on their device.
"This is an extremely important year for South Africa and, as a result, the latest version of our map data is one of the most significant updates we've made to the Garmap Africa map products," Crozier concludes.
