Maps of Malaysia

Have been inspired by Malfreemaps' recent push into covering ASEAN countries. Hope this map will support it.

In order to expand coverage to an entire region, I have had to compromise on detail. Contour lines are only at 50m intervals. I choose not to use the ASTER GDEM as detail is not so crucial and furthermore, there are some distorted patches in the ASTER GDEM.

Coverage: Most of South East Asia (A rectangular block from S15 to N25, E91 to E145). This fairly large block includes parts of India and Bangladesh at the Northwest corner, Guam, Taiwan and Hainan Islands at the Northeast, and Northern Australia (including Darwin). Major omissions include the Northern mountains of Myanmar and Eastern Papua New Guinea.

Contours: 50m 100m 500m

Size: 623Mb

Compatibility: Mapsource 6.13.7

This map also includes the HydroSHEDS data (theoretical rivers) for South East Asia.

You can download individual tiles here or download a Mapsource (v6.137) compatible compilation (requires a slight modification to the registry - at your own risk!) from here.

The basic instructions for installing this is:

1. Extract (unzip) the contents of the file into:
C:\Garmin\SRTM4-SEA\

2. Incorporate the file SRTM4-SEA.reg into the windows registry by double-clicking it. For your information, this is its contents:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Products\SRTM4-SEA]
"LOC"="C:\\Garmin\\SRTM4-SEA\\"
"BMAP"="C:\\Garmin\\SRTM4-SEA\\SRTM4-SEA.img"
"TDB"="C:\\Garmin\\SRTM4-SEA\\SRTM4-SEA.tdb"

1967 denotes the year ASEAN was formed.
