I have just returned from a holiday in Cyprus. I could have hired a satnav loaded with a Cyprus map. I already have a nuvi 250 in the UK. It is loaded with the European maps but only covers a few main roads in Cyprus. Where can I get a map for Cyprus only (street level)

Hi,

I got mine from an outfit in Cyprus called Digital Touch (Welcome to Digital Touch Cyprus - Your electronics supplier in Cyprus - Buy laptops, mobile phones, TV sets, consoles and more.)
It came on an SD card, and was an easy plug and play. The maps are from the Garmin agents in Cyprus, but are not produced by Garmin. The cost is extortionate, but does include lifetime updates. The updates are available on line. The maps are not yet as good as we are used to here in the UK, but far, far better than the rubbish paper maps which is the only alternative in Cyprus.
Hope this helps.

Simon

Thanks Smngdfry. I note that you seem to enjoy typing (you used the word extortionate rather than £xxx. Anyway; since I posted my plea for advice; I have purchased a smartphone (Nokia 5800) and its GPS mapping system (for Cyprus at least) is much more detailed than the one on my Garmin. The maps are free initially and updateable as often as you like - also freely. However there is a financial catch. If you want voice guildance you have to pay for it (£6 for 30 days or £53 a year). I have not decided which system to use yet.

Perhaps you should try google maps.
