New: Check out all the birding spots in Google Earth!
Here you can download Google Earth files. These '.kmz' files can be opened in Google Earth, and allow you to "browse" the birding spots by way of satellite imagery. The files are organised by Chapter. Points are numbered according to the numbers used in the text. Using Google earth together with "The Chamberlain Guide to Birding Gauteng", will enable you to really get a feel for each birding spot and plan your trip in fine detail!
New: GPS Data Waypoints for birding sites in the book. (For Garmin and other compatable GPS Units)
This data is organised by chapter. Many chapters have more than 200 waypoints, and most GPS units will not take more than 500, so it is best to upload just the chapter/s that you are planning to visit.
How to use this data with Mapsource
You need to connect to your GPS unit using Mapsource, or some other Garmin-compatable programme (such as Ozi-explorer). You can then load this data onto your GPS unit, which will then show the waypoints on your screen. You may also use the waypoints as point to navigate to, if you are using an auto-routing GPS, but this only works properly when the point lies on or close to a road, which is included in your map-set.
Please let us know should you find any errors in the data.
