I want to put the world basemap on is that I am going to Lanzorote and I would like some basic navigation. I don't think metroguide covers the Canary Islands.
If this in not possible does anyone have any suggestions?

i think theres only about 5 major roads in lanzorote..why bother with a gps on a small island like this...you'll only get it nicked so enjoy yourself, leave the i3 at home and chill out.....

I always seem to go a bit over the top. I will sit back and enjoy myself sipping on a glass of vintage Bollinger!!

Your private plane has issues, then, if you're relying on the i3 for it to get around ;-)

Must be a classic, then, else you'd have splurged for factory nav ;-P |

Try here and then send the map via Sendmap20 or IMG2GPS  .
I don't know if it is an "autorouting" map.
