Thread: South Africa Drakensberg region hiking trails map v.3 - Garmin

Hi Guys

I am the silly guy that collected the data over many many years and compiled this transparent layer map for the Garmin GPS platform. In fact I will continue improving this completely free product over time as long as I have the means to do so. I do have a couple of keen hikers that regularly visit this amazing place that helps me with the data collection and as soon as I have enough data to justify an updated release then I will again request Tracks for Africa to repost an updated version of this map on the Tracks for Africa website again. All I ask is if you are going to use this map while hiking The Drakensberg Area then please assist me with some data collection by tracking your hikes with GPS and sending me your raw GPS tracked data too. That way I would be able to keep this project alive and also naturally improve the map over time. My contact details are in the installation notes of the map. I really hope some of you can help by getting involved. This way we all contribute to making hiking in this area just a little safer.....this is by the way my only motivation and drive behind the hours I have already spend working on this map, this by the way spans over a period of more than 10 years now, wow time do fly when you are having fun! And yes finding a post supporting this map here excites me immensely. Hope I do not anger some MOD by posting this sort of a request here. Yours truly - Johan Cloete
