Hi all,
Does anyone have a decent set of calibrated maps for the Abu Dhabi and Sweihan regions? Or is there any way we can get calibrated maps from Google Earth (satellite)?

Thanks,

.. interesting..

I guess most of the club members are running on Garmin GPS using maximum the City Navigator ME 4.0 Maps.

On the other hand, maps from Google earth are not very relaiable for the desert tracks considering the change caused by winds and sands....

On what GPS are you running?

Hi Jo,
I do have a Garmin GPS with City Navigaotor, but I also wanted to use my GPS phone (HTC TyTN II). In any case, my Garmin with City Navigator shows the desert as flat space, so I thought the Google Maps would at least give some basic view of the terrain. My fun is getting these maps into Ozil (or any other format) so that they are callibrated and can be displayed on my phone.

Thanks,
