What is new on the T4A GPS Maps Traveller s Africa 17.05 T4A GPS Maps 17.05 comes preloaded on a micro SD card with standard adapter, ready for Plug & Navigate. This SD card can be used on most map capable Garmin units and has been tested with latest Nuvi models as well. This product is not compatible to igo in car navigation systems, Android or ios devices. For these platforms we have separate products. The SD card also contains installation files for PC and Mac users who want to install the maps on their computers for trip planning or for transferring maps to older Garmin units such as the 276c, 76csx, previous generation etrex, etc. The map growth is organic in nature.

Many street names are being corrected and we are also updating route numbers on main roads. We also addressed route calculation issues as reported by our users, most of which was associated with the large addition of city street data in South Africa.
