 |
|
Does anyone out there know of a brand of GPS unit that can be brought in Korea but is in English?
Or even a brand that can be brought in another country and just have the Korean maps loaded.
Thanking you in advance. |

| Garmin is way too expensive. We have an English Garmin from the States, but getting the English maps on it was disgustingly expensive. I believe it was over 200,000w. I haven't been able to find any "backup" copies on the 'net either. |

I have a "backup" copy of the Korean Garmin maps (ver. 7). Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced the product key. Without the product key, you can only use the maps in MapSource. But if you have a product key, PM me and I'll send you the maps.
I've looked though the maps through MapSource and it looks like they have a lot of major roads, but definitely not all the medium and small streets. Maybe some cities are better done than other, but I don't know of any other alternatives.
If anyone knows of another alternative for maps that can be used on a Garmin, I'd be interested it. |
