Thanks for the new links.
I emailed Handmap about movilemap.cl. They were just a map provider for Handmap, so may be they got a new one. Will find out.
Turistel CD is on their site under Productos Turis Com in the middle of the page.

Thanks for the news, I would post this in a new "Navteq Coverage" thread in the news or mapping section though as it will probably take some time to trickle down to the end-user so that we can add it to the database ;-) Actually maybe not that long because NAVIGON is adding this area to the nez MN|5 version.

Since I will soon be travelling to Taiwan I have been lookin at maps and foudnd the following:
1. You have MapKingv2 and MapKing2003, not sure what the difference is, but both have an interface in English and maps in Chinese. Installing CE-Star (free if you just use it to decode fonts it seems) then the rendering will be improved so you might be able to show the map to cab driver ;-)
2. Not much in the way of topo maps, Berkeley have some apparently but access is reserved to UC students. There are some topo maps for Garmin units as seen here but I'm not sure how/if they can be bought outside Taiwan.

| MapKing has English maps too. That's what I wanted to use in Shanghai. Can you read Chinese and where will you be going? |

Here are the English Mapking maps, but you're right I don't see Taiwan on there. I guess they didn't make one yet.

The same map works for the PC and PPC version.
If you want to get fancy, when in Taiwan you can easily buy a paper map that has both English and Chinese on it (I got one in Shanghai) for $2 and then if you bring with you a little scanner you can calibrate it in Ozi. I have a Canon LIDE 35 scanner that's the size of a standard piece of paper and fits easily into a back pack. |

That's a thought although I'll probably just get a paper map and then compare with what I see on MapKing. It doesn't seem locals use the English names anyway ;-)

| The names on English maps are written in Pin Yin which is the official way of writing Chinese using English characters. So many of them can read it (it's taught in school), as long as they are educated. If you will stay in cities then it will be useful, but in the country probably not. In Shanghai most streets were labeled in Pin Yin also, but I don't know what the story with Taiwan is. |
