This Garmin map was made with data from © OpenStreetMap contributors.
This is a map for motorcyclists and it covers Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia and Singapore. Motorcycles are not allowed on some roads in Asia and these roads are shown as grey un-routable roads. These roads are typically toll roads and overpasses over major intersections and primarily located in Bangkok. Maximum assumed cruising speed is capped at 90 km/h, this is to provide realistic estimated arrival times for smaller motorcycles.
This map uses the English name tags by default. If an English name is not available the local name is transliterated to Latin characters. If you see a name that appears a bit garbled it is probably because it is the result of an automated transliteration.
OSM is free and not copyrighted with worldwide coverage. It is made and updated by it's users. Please use and distribute this map. If more people use OSM, more people will also in the end contribute to it. If you want to participate a good place to start is LearnOSM.org. The OSM data, which is in a generic format, was converted into a Garmin map with the free mkgmap software. You can also download free worldwide Garmin maps from Lambertus.

Map for Garmin GPS
Download map suited for older GPS units. The roads are styled to resemble Basecamp style.
Download map suited for newer GPS units. The roads are not styled. Style is added by the GPS.
If your GPS has an Apps icon on the start screen it is a newer unit. Both maps versions work on all units however, the difference is only cosmetic.
Older (left) and newer (right):
Save the map on your unit's memory card in a folder named garmin, this garmin folder must be in the root folder. If this folder does not exist you create it.
Newer units can have multiple maps saved on the memory card. They can be named as you like as long as the names are suffixed .img.
Older units can have two additional maps in your Garmin's garmin folder in the internal memory. If you save two maps in the internal memory you name the first gmapprom.img and the second gmapsupp.img.
