Russian maps wasn't a hit. Maybe the bait was too big. So now we offer a tiny country. Free digital maps of Andorra (http://www.iea.ad/cbd/MCSA/Html/topo.htm)

The text is in Catalan, which seems to be pretty close to Esperanto, so no problem there.

You open this with a freeware map reader from Barcelona:

map reader (http://www.creaf.uab.es/miramon/mmr/)

The technical details are in castellano, aka spanish. The rest is in english.

The maps open easily. Now my question to Holgado é compaņeros: How could you import these into the iQue?
They are actually vector maps. But the vectors are merely overlays. So it seems that it should be possible to make images of the maps and use them in Fugawi. But there should be a better way than just making screen dumps.

I might pass Andorra for Easter. It would be fun to test the iQue in that topography. Altitude lines are at 25 meters separation. It is hilly indeed.

Jonas: I do have Andorra topo maps callibrated for OziExplorer. Also, if you need information, visit my Website, and you could see Andorra el Pais de los Pirineos (The country of the Pirinees).
Andorra is a central valley and lateral valleys convergin on the principal one. Winter activity is Ski Resorts and a Free Tax heaven.
Mountain activity is also a must, with high peeks nearly 3.000 mts. high.
It is a wanderful place indeed.
Got to insist, if something you need, please do ask for it.

Ok Holgado, do you have something I could use on the iQue?
For Andorra and the Pyrenees with Fugawi or else? I don't have anything I could use Ozi explorer on up and running.

First time I was in Andorra was in 1961. I was seventeen then. Been there a couple of times since them. Would like to show it to the kids as we go from Montpellier to Barcelona during easter.

That would be fine:)

But still, it would be nice to be able to use free maps and the free map reader provided. I wonder if there more maps of Catalonia available
