G'day All,
Oddvar recently sent me this link.
This looks good..
A GPS map for motorcycles.. Especially for those that are passing Bangkok and don't want to end up on toll roads.

"This Garmin map was made with data from © OpenStreetMap contributors and covers the area shown in the image to the left.
This is a map for motorcyclists and therefore roads that should not be used by motorcyclists are shown as grey un-routable roads.
These roads are typically toll roads and overpasses over major intersections and primarily located in Bangkok.
This map uses the English name tags by default, if an English name is not present the local name is converted to Latin characters. If you see a name that appears a bit garbled it is probably because it is the result of an automated conversion.
OSM is free and not copyrighted with worldwide coverage. It is made and updated by it's users. Please use and distribute this map.
If more people use OSM, more people will also in the end contribute to it. A simple way to help is to upload your track logs to OSM. If you want to help go to OpenStreetMap and sign up for a user. At this time not many people contributes to south east Asia so the coverage is spotty. All the main roads are covered in all areas however. The map data extract was provided for free by GeoFabrik. The OSM data, which is in a generic XML format, was converted into a Garmin map with the free mkgmap software. You can also download free worldwide Garmin maps from Lambertus."
Cheers
Brian
