We very confident in T4A and are therefore using them for all the route planning. Terry Harford verified owner — June 15, What an amazing piece of kit! We have been using T4A gps maps for more than ten years and find them indispensable for any travel in this wonderful continent. We have travelled Cape to Cairo and back, Walvis to Beira via Liuwa Plain, Maputo to Skeleton Coast via Luangwa and thousands of crooks and nannies in between, mostly in our tired, old, red tdi Defender. We have used T4A to plan, guide, inform, for fun and occasionally in desperation.
We have even contributed a bit. We have just updated our complete set as we consider one or two more trips before we, and our old shorty, really are too old. All we can say is — thank you! Jurie Erasmus verified owner — June 14, Been using T4A for many years.
Best product out there for Southern Africa plus easy of use and good service. NickFleri verified owner — June 13, Love this product! Used it for the 1st time in for a 20 day road trip around SA, and I will continue using T4A for future trips. This product truly captures what it means to explore Africa.
To make my experience even better I have always received excellent support from the T4A team. Kevin Blom verified owner — May 14, Excellent product. Been using this for about 8 years now and been very useful especially when wondering off the beaten track. Brilliant back up service and assistance as well. Keep it up guys and girls.
Gerrit Visser verified owner — May 11, I have been using Tracks4Africa for many years and have used it as major input to most of my travels. My passion is to travel on the back roads across South Africa, and T4A is perfect for this. I have it on my GPS and I also have the cell phone app along with the paper map.
I even use it when I am flying between Cape Town and Lanseria. With my cell phone at the airplane window, I can get good enough satellite coverage to identify my location and plan another gravel travel road trip looking at the roads below.
I have often thought to contribute to T4A, especially when I come across a locked gate on a road less travelled.
It is occurrences like this rarely, I might add that make one realize the level of effort that goes into making these maps. A 5 star product in my book. I also spend hours using it on my PC with Garmin BaseCamp, doing research, planning, dreaming and reminding myself what road I have already travelled and what new road still needs exploring. During Covid lockdown this is my mental therapy.
I have also phoned their head office in Paarl a few times, always had a friendly response and my questions answered. I think this is a proudly South African product that does a lot to promote this beautiful country and continent. Well done to you all at T4A. Janine Reyneke — May 12, Raymond Shaw verified owner — May 6, Still have some problems loading to Garmin and have found it easier to drop it straight onto SD card.
Henri Burger verified owner — May 2, Thanks a lot for the opportunity to upgrade at a bargain price, it is much appreciated. Ignus van Rensburg verified owner — April 29, What a great product. Super impressed with my purchase and so easy to install.
Great information system not to be found anywhere else. Greg Fernandes verified owner — April 24, Thank you. T4A is great for any adventure rider looking for those roads, mountain passes that are not on any other map product. Great special price and I will definitely stay on the upgrade path. Wim Burger verified owner — April 22, Chris Rudham verified owner — April 22, I had 9 well used regional maps of various ages and intended, one day to subscribe to The Complete Set. The Covid 19 Lockdown provided the opportunity to do so and to plan future trips.
I am especially enjoying routing across regional boundaries when using Base Camp. Piet dupreez verified owner — April 21, Thank you The purchase and download process was was super easy and efficient Have not used maps yey but am sure it will provide just as much travelling planning and navigation pleasure as the previous versions Keep up the good work.
Bruno verified owner — April 15, I have purchased T4Africa in and have been exploring Zambia. I only relied to the Garmin with the T4Africa. Very reliable. This version surely will be as relaible as all T4Africa products. Jacobus J. Nel verified owner — April 14, If you watch Safari 4X4, you will know that the Kunene Mouth trip is something else.
My vehicles sat nav stopped working as soon as you left civilization, but my T4 Africa maps kept my going throughout the trip. Thanks for a reliable and great product Johann. We have a trip planned in August, if we are not locked-in anymore, to the Kgalagadi and my GPS is up to date.
Robert Zanoli verified owner — April 11, I have been using this excellent product for many years. Thanks for the affordable update. Keep up the good work. Geurt Bloem verified owner — April 10, Excellent opportunity to upgrade and highly appreciated as well.
The effort also reminds us, the users, on our responsibility to good business suppliers and manufacturers! In these times with the corona thing, we all must stand together to keep a resemblance of our economy or lose our entity through loss of businesses. Well done T4A owners for offering this product, even at a discount, just to maintain some business resemblance and I for one will keep on supporting you with a sound and very usable product!!
Janine Reyneke — April 10, Nick Slabber verified owner — April 10, T4A is simply the best. The new upgrade works smoothly in Basecamp. Routing is a breeze. Thanks for the great service! Jeffrey Brown verified owner — April 9, To have T4A maps is always reassuring when going offroad.
Maps are current and reliable and downloading the product and installing on the Garmin or the PC is easy, by following the instructions. I would not want to go offroad without it.
Johan Goosen verified owner — April 9, Keep up the good work and thank you for a good product. Paul van Jaarsveld verified owner — April 8, Barend verified owner — April 8, Very awesome product I am yet to travel to remote places with it, although planning local trips with this is awesome.
Pieter Rossouw verified owner — April 8, Thank you for the discounted opportunity. Trust you can keep the office rolling. T4A is the only one and always has been!!! Gert Lubbe verified owner — April 7, I have been using T4A for trips toAngola since I visited Angola since then Yearly.
Even when the roads had been worked on and you have to take a lot of detoirs you can trust T4A to take you to your destinations. I did not had the opportunity yet to test my upgrade but I am sure it will live up to expectations. Keep on tracking. I have been using T4A maps for all of our Southern Africa overland trips and we will never leave our base without these maps.
Last week I upgraded the maps and what a easy process for a non-technical person. Awesome product with lots of added information on these new updated maps. Well done and thanks for making this so easy for us to use! Geoff Marshall verified owner — April 7, The new material added in the Well Done! This will help make advanced trip booking much easier for all. Erna Liebenberg verified owner — April 7, Dear T4A, I have been using T4A maps since and have since then never used any other product to plan our cross-border or intra-RSA trips, of which we do an average of 5 per year.
The product is solidly and robustly built, packaged and delivered to clients. I am telling everybody I know about T4A and your products. Keep it up, I will keep supporting you!
Janine Reyneke — April 7, Thank-you so much Erna! We really do appreciate it very much! Best regards to you, from Team Tracks4Africa. Manus Coetzee verified owner — April 7, Graham Porter verified owner — April 7, As a community project, Tracks4Africa is a standout! I am also a contributor to the OSM map project since it started. The detail and care you put into this project is amazing, and in 14 years of maps from you I have had to request on one correction.
I recommend these to everyone I meet, and when we make recommendations for overseas friends who come to visit and tour, we ask them to buy the full Africa set online, and them supply them with routes and waypoints for the recommendations we make. Recommend buy. Shaun Peard verified owner — April 7, Thank you for a great product!
In the past we purchased regional maps, but I must say this is an excellent and in fact the best option to plan our African and Regional adventures! We have a couple of trips already mapped and loaded on our Garmin in anticipation of the the Lockdown ending! Best wishes Shaun and Andrea. Bart Buyse verified owner — April 6, I allways use Tracks4Africa for trip planning in southern Africa, make routes and put them on my Garmin without a problem.
Found a lot of beautiful gravel roads to explore. Thanks again for the good work! Greetz from Belgium. Peter Williamson verified owner — April 6, I first used Tracks 4 Africa in January and have never been without it since. Great product. I never leave home without it! Maps are great, well worth it for the price. In basecamp you want to make sure your detailed settings are high and you want to turn off some of the display features like the photo icons to make it easier to see the roads.
Robin Thompson verified owner — February 28, I have been using Tracks 4 Africa for quite a number of years and whilst it works great in most areas it still has its limitations.
For example, a few of my fellow adventure travellers and I recently undertook a 2 week trip through Namibia, which trip consisted of Ruacana, Eupupa, Kaokoveld, Damaraland and a few other places. This pass is not on Tracks 4 Africa and we had to revert to a , map to pinpoint the route. I also experienced similar lack of details in a few places during a trip through Angola. Janine Reyneke — February 28, Hi Robin, thanks very much for the review and info. Please do us a favour, and please email newdata tracks4africa.
That sounds very strange though, as we are generally very well mapped in Namibia. Angola is not a very well travelled country, and we rely on track and data submissions from our travel community, so if you can possibly send us those tracks too it will be great! BunduBoy verified owner — February 28, I have mixed feelings regarding the product as I expected more… and yes, I have set Basecamp to display highest detail.
Comparing the detail around Welkom between Google Maps and this product I must sadly say Google Maps beats it hands down! A pity really. I currently have to print Google Maps, then physically go and drive the tracks to be able to import and use it in Basecamp. Hi there.
Thanks for the review. Just remember our focus is more on off-roads than street maps, although we have many streets mapped in most towns and cities, I checked Welkom, the streets are mapped too.
We also rely on our travel community to submit tracks that are not on our maps to us, so that we can incorporate them. It could just very well be that these tracks you refer to may never have been submitted to us before. It will be great if you can pop us an email with screenshots of the area around Welkom from Basecamp and then what you see on Google maps so we can investigate.
Please email sales tracks4africa. Thanks Janine. Sarel Esterhuizen verified owner — January 30, This is my second T4A map and it make off road travelling easy. Jacques Tredoux verified owner — January 14, Klaus Laborn verified owner — December 28, This is a free update after our purchase in May , we have not had a chance to really test it on a trip yet. Download to PC worked smoothly, but although your webpage clearly states the upgrade should be installed onto the micro SD card, this did not happen.
Only installation on our Garmin device worked. Gjalt Hooghiemstra verified owner — December 6, Emile van Zyl verified owner — November 30, I love doing some off-the-beaten track, as well as interesting places in neighbouring countries, particularly Namibia and Botswana. I found the T4A very useful when I plan my trip on Basecamp.
It is fun to search for camping places in certain remote areas — then only T4A maps help! For me the meticulous planning over several nights is part of the thrill — I like to plan in detail beforehand — takes the stress of finding a place or not to be in time off you shoulders. I am also grateful that you can renew you subscription yearly at a reduced price and get a few updates during the year. Great product, well done, very good with excellent details, routing and helpful descriptions.
Russell Tarr verified owner — October 30, This is my second subscription for this product and there is simply nothing else like it. Excellent detail and great routing also. Peter Achterberg verified owner — September 16, I just wish that the waypoint label would remain when zooming out — maybe a feature to force labels to be displayed.
I have been using various T4A products for many years — the Tracks4frica Guide as well. This has got me out a some confusion situations a few times. Attie Cilliers verified owner — September 9, I did not have a single route hiccup and was astonished at the accuracy of the maps as well as the amount of detail. Malcolm Wilkie verified owner — August 25, One of the great ways for users is to verify various tracks that other users have found or updated. Even some of the individual camps have the various camping spots located so making it useful if you want a camp site on the banks of the Okavango river and being able to watch the wildlife in and around the water.
You could always camp away from the bank! The longest one so far that T4A has been used is 16,km 10, miles. Len le Roux verified owner — August 20, Easily loaded down to my Mac and installed. Have also been able to capture tracks and load it to Maps. As always, appreciate the new changes.
Ivan Coomer verified owner — August 1, A suggestion for improved organization on the Downloads page. The Central America countries also are listed under the South America section.
Keep the good work up. Installation went smooth and my Garmin recognizes all larger and smaller places in the country and the roads in between except for the capital Tbilisi. The system does not accept that name Tbilisi for a town. Could you advice how to correct this? Topo maps of Spain and Canary Islands are not available since several days ago. It seems there is a problem with their contourlines. Are they going to be available again?

Nice gesture from Garmin, but the bitmaps are very big and ugly on my Oregon It wouldn't be difficult to create that kind of gpi using free tools.
I did once POI for Poland, it was about Somehow I didn't find it useful, it was rather slow, in some places clattered view. The only advantage was that POI from gpi are visible in nuvis, which didn't display any poi form maps. Essentially, POI Loader allows users to customize their own navis and insert and remove custom points of interest. POI Loader allows you to add new waypoints like restaurants, work locations, buildings, officers and anything else you would like.
The custom locations are added on top of existing maps and only supplement the core maps installed. The program provides two modes: Quick and Manual, where manual is better suited towards more advanced and intermediate users.
