What  is  new  on  the  T4A  GPS  Maps  –  Traveller’s  Africa  15.05  T4A GPS Maps 15.05 comes preloaded on a 2Gb 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 Nuvi models as well. This product is not compatible to iGO in car navigation systems, Android or iOS devices. For these platforms we have separate products.

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 525 data submissions for version 15.05. 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 3% from 14.10.
