Re: Routable Karachi Street Map for Garmin GPS

In version 0.85 we've now crossed the 10,000km road landmark! Lyari, Saddar and Sher Shah all got their final touches and are now complete. Hawk's Bay, Sandspit beaches and Manora island have also been added! Hub is covered as a separate city too.

For the pro version, coverage on address search has been extended to half of Clifton.

Re: Routable Karachi Street Map for Garmin GPS

Version 0.90 has now been uploaded. Coverage has mostly progressing northwards with lots of minor updates spread throughout the map. We also now have more than 10,000 POI! Expect better routing with the change in some road preferences. For the pro version, address search now covers entire Clifton.
