I'm heading to northern Vietnam for a few weeks in November. Renting from Flamingo who have been great so far.
Anyone have a good .kmz/.kml google earth tracks or .gpx files for GPS?
Experience with good topo maps for the area?
I'll have to order the maps online, so would be good to get some feedback before doing so. The ones I have found so far are very large scale.
I have done several similar off road trips in different countries and typically run my garmin gps and have sourced smaller scale topo maps.... has been a pretty good combo to make sure I can get off the beaten track without getting too lost.
I want to get onto the dirt, less travelled trails and off the normal moto route in the north where possible as much as I can, so any suggestions are welcome.
Also... any tips on SIM cards for Vietnam? :crazy: Although I don't normally.... I'll take my phone this time and tether to my laptop for google earth, etc access while in the north. I understand there is cell service all over the place. Probably my only option for internet for most of the trip?
Thanks!
