Lowrance maps for Japan

[Brazil_dareck]

Hello all, I am new to this GPS game. I purchased a Lowrance XOG for use during my stay in the Osaka, Japan area. Can anyone tell me where I can get street maps ( in English ) for my unit?

Any information would be very useful.

Thanks,

Dareck

Ok.. leme save ya some time. I've been looking for the same thing, cept looking for a map of Colombia. I keep hearing, no it's not available.. or make your own...ect. A bunch of negativity for something that should be real simple. Here's what ya do..

 

Go here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mapcrea...are/lcmBuilder/

Get this: lcmMapEdit087a.zip

 

That will allow you to convert Garmin format to Lowrance format. There's a bunch of Garman maps out there, here's a public site:

 

http://mapcenter2.cgpsmapper.com/

 

or better yet:

 

http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=garmin

 

(use that one to replace your CD's that are too damaged to be readable)

 

That should make it a little easier for you.

 

Enjoy!

Hi!

Could you send me a copy of "lcmMapEdit087a.zip" to my mailbox: ftj777@163.com. It is important for me, I logined the Yahoo group, but the owner response too slow.

Dareck, this is what I used. It's for Garmin MapSource, but the other poster mentioned a tool to convert to your GPS unit. I was in Osaka, Nara, Kobe, and Kyoto and was successful in locating caches with these maps.
