South Africa $44.95

South Africa mapnThe map which I purchased was for South Africa. I mainly needed it for Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg . Every address that I entered into my Garmin came with the same reply, "address not found, check the spelling and try again". I would understand if these were new addresses but they have been around for years. It could not even take me to any intersection which I entered. I finally gave up and started using Waze which is a completely free app that has taken me to every address that I have entered.

I dealt with customer service a couple of times and always received a "canned" response which did me no good. Customer service is only as good as a company makes it. This company failed all around.

I would highly recommend that if you purchase this map you will be throwing your money away.

Worst ever map informationnPlease do not waste your money by downloading this so-called map of South Africa. Not even 10% of street names of the towns are on this map. When entering an address, towns are duplicated and each has only a small number of street names. This site is misrepresenting what you are paying for. How can,"This GPS map will give you turn by turn directions to your destination using a POI (point of interest), city point and/or latitude and longitude with the ability to preplan driving destinations before getting into your car. Includes thousands of POI's such as hotels, restaurants, fuel stations, and more.", when ALL the street names are not available ?

Can't download maps to garmin nMaps are downloade to my computer but I can't download them to my garmin despite downloading all required programmes. I therefore wasted my money and will be travelling to South Africa on Monday.

Could not find half the streets in tourist areasnDespite checking and receiving a confirmation that it included Swaziland - IT DID NOT (yes we chose to change country to Swaziland, which was an option but there was not map data or street data). Also, despite heading for large tourist areas (such as Cape Town) we could only find the street address half the time.

Not worth the money if free because it meant that we did not buy or download maps to bring with us.

Bloody useless

Garmin Map of South AfricanI downloaded the map on my Garmin of South Africa for a recent trip to Western Cape & KwaZulu Natal. The map/system did not recognise any street or specific location address. In fact we ended up following Google Maps & directions on her iPhone 5. In short a waste of money and the download wasn't cheap,

unable to downloadnPurchased a Garmin GPS map of South Africa. Could not download it even though 2 different computers and 2 different Garmin units were tried. Customer service could not help. Gave me an 80% refund. What a rip off. If most customer have this problem, how do you stay in business?

South AfricanPurchased this map before two weeks holiday in Cape Town and the Western Cape. This is a very poor map - few if any tourist landmarks (Cape of Good Hope missing!) and Cape Town specific districts required (why?) before you can find any streets.



I will buy the official Garmin maps in future.

Very dissaponitednBought this for a holiday in Cape Town, couldn't find where we were staying (Kalk Bay), my wife broke her ankle and we had to find Constantiaberg, could be found, nor Simon's Town, nor anywhere we searched except for Chapman's Peak and the V & A Waterfront. Only way we could use this map was to scroll across until we could see the area we wanted (by cross referencing with a paper map) and dropping a pin. A very disappointing and frustrating purchase.

Feel cheatednAfter purchasing the South Africa map for my Garmin, the very next screen said that the product had a glitch in it. I spent about 15 hours in four days, downloading, installing, restarting maybe 25 times, updating, etc. but no luck. The TravelMaps rep told me the problem was not theirs but Garmin's. But no matter whose problem, it shouldn't be sold as being compatible with Garmin GPSs. When I wanted my money back, I was told that the agreement that I had accepted was that there would be a 20% service fee. Well, without checking the "accept" box, you wouldn't be able to see if the product worked, would you? The rep further told me that they usually didn't refund money to customers who were not happy with the product. Well, I bought a faulty product, so I didn't even have the chance to use and be unhappy with it. All said, it was a false advertising gimmick. I am disgusted.

Extremely Poor Out of DatenTotally disappointed with my purchase.Tried to use this map for a month long trip in South Africa.AT least five years out of date.Does not have features for major points of interest built in SA pre 2010.Does not have Durban International Airport instead directs you to old airport which was replaced in 2009.Most towns under 10000 people do not exist.Bloody useless.Had to by a South African GPS while there
