Garmap Website Closing Down

Discussion of the maps available in South Africa in the various sub-folders: Garmap, Navteq, T4A, OSM, etc.
More sub-folders will be created as we go along and the need arises.

Darryl, Jan, I think it's time to send out bulk e-mail to forum members before they go on holiday.!

You know I am on holiday already. :grin: Good idea to warn them of the impending closure of the and to advice them to make sure the y have a copy of their latest gma file somewhere save like on a SD card or something for recovery purposes.

Done. Please check for me if you have received the email from the server informing our members to login to the Garmap server and obtain their .GMA files (if necessary).

Hi Guys, thanks, I've received the email from admin, wonder what would've happened if I didn't go the Garmap website to buy a "dead horse, SSA 2013.2". Garmap however, has all our information, email addresses etc. and up to now, no notification from them about the closing of their website. As Darryl mentioned, so much so for loyal forumites :angry: Herewith I would like to thank Frans for helping me out with the installation of SSA 2013.2, from DVD, onto a sd card. Quite a mission if you don't know how. I bought SSA the 2013.2 mapset, for traveling in the "platteland" where CN maps don't even show these small towns.
