Title: Barbados Road maps
Post by: bnigbri8910 on December 04, 2011, 04:29:19 PM
Hi:
I'm off for a winter vacation after X-Mas and would like to get road maps for my Garmin Nuvi. Garmin doesn't make a map for Barbados. Does anyone have an idea where I can get one?
Thanks: bigbri8910

I don't see any here or I'd recommend them.  In their absence you might want to look at:

Should have thought of that one.  That page has the tutorial I used when I started making maps.  I note that none of the maps listed are routable, and it looks like the page hasn't been updated for a few years.

I don't think they've added a lot of roads to Barbados lately.  ;)

If it was me, I'd just use sat photos.  Or www.openroadjourney.com/

The problem in the US isn't roads, it's subdivisions, but you're probably right that there haven't been too many of those in Barbados since 2009.
