Garmins are readily available on the international market. They have been around for years along with Magellan. Now, many or all of the common brands of GPS receivers do not have maps available for every country or major city of the world. Even if they had maps available, they may not have the type for the tourist or a person trying to navigate a city such as Jakarta or the countryside on Bali. However, there are plenty of topographical maps available and you either have to submit a request for one or possibly find one that is in downloadable format on the internet. If your country has an embassy in Indonesia, my recommendation is to contact them and ask for suggestions, links, contact info and so forth. To use the topographical maps, you may be required you to set your GPS device to “MGRS†or even “lat longâ€. Now, with all that being said, it is highly possible that maps of Indonesia are available for GPS use but remember there are many islands that make up the country. There have many features available for the receivers but it could be limited depending on location. Also, many of the GPS devices build maps or chart your progress as you negotiate terrain such as going on a trek in the forest. If you wanted to trek or navigate a city, but the device did not have a map to support the area, then go with the MGRS and save “way points†as you navigate through the countryside or city. This may not help you when looking for a certain street you are looking for but it can bring you back to your starting point. If I was in your shoes, I would contact one of the two GPS brands I mentioned, Garmin or Magellan and ask specific questions.
