Hi,

Does anyone know where to get TOPO's or other highly detailed map of Hong Kong that I can use with my GPS?

Thanks

I don't understand. I use a GPS with the CountrySide series without any problem? However you need to set for UTM and the correct datum on the GPS.

I'm also looking for some good topo maps. At least a hardcopy that I can scan into my software. I have seen some on the HongKong trail posted at the Info signs. Do you know of where I can buy one?

Are there any places that have some waypoints or tracks for these trails?

There is also one series of govt. survey maps covering the whole of HK in 19 sheets. The series is called HM20C and the scale is 1:20000. The grid on the maps is of UTM and is one of the international grid systems displayed by GPS.
These maps are available from the Govt. Publications Centre at G/F, Queensway Govt.Offices, Admiralty.
