Pakistan Navigator Version 1.04 Released

Data Solutions (Pvt) Ltd and Tracking World (Pvt) Ltd have released an update to their Pakistan Navigator map for Garmin GPS devices. We have discussed before on how these maps works on Garmin GPS devices in Pakistan.
This latest update in maps includes house number information for Islamabad and Lahore. Users will now be able to navigate directly to a house number for the following areas:

• Sector F-8, Islamabad
• Sector F-7, Islamabad
• New Garden Town, Lahore
• Muslim Town, Lahore
• Faisal Town (excluding Block D), Lahore
• DHA Phase I, Lahore
• Model Town (Blocks A, B, C, D, E, F, G & H), Lahore

There have also been improvements in the searching process. For example to search house 148, Block E, Model Town Lahore the following inputs are required:

• Select Country – Pakistan
• Select State/County – Punjab
• Select City – Lahore Model Town or Block E Model Town
• Select Number – 148
• Select Street – E

There have also been fixes to routing and duplicate POIs. Over a 1000 new POIs have also been added as well. Fuel station and restaurant POIs have been added along the N5 all the way from Peshawar to Karachi. Although street level detail is limited to Islamabad, Rawalpidi, Lahore and their adjoining areas the detail of other cities has been upgraded.

We have learned that detailed maps of Faisalabad and Karachi will follow soon as well house number information. The maps used to create Pakistan Navigator can be viewed at www.naqsha.net
