View Full Version : GPS with Japan maps

Hi all,

I am a foreigner --a gaijin in the local jargon-- living in Japan and am looking for a GPS system for my bicycle to navigate the nameless roads in this country.

One very convenient feature would be English --or romanized-- names and menus in the whole system.

Anyone found such a thing in the "land of technology"? Any possibility to buy this device outside Japan?

The cell phones in Japan can be used for this, but the maps come in Japanese.
