Ladakh GPS Tracks

[anuradhac]

Thanks Tanveer. Will try downloading the india map on OSMAND and give it a shot.

Would this help say even driving up in the mountains like ladakh and such.

Cheers

tanveer, are the spangmik - chushul - hanle route and hanle - chumur - tso moriri routes marked on osm, and can we use this with navigation feature on osmand.

Yes, they are well mapped.
However, navigation may stop at loma due to checkpost, so after you cross checkpost, you need to start routing again.
But not to worry, only one road goes from nyoma to loma

tanveer, with osmand, will we be able to get turn by turn navigation for the following route

1. hanle - kyuntso - nidar - tsomorri route
2. hanle - salsal la - charghaganla - tso moriri.

1. hanle - kyuntso - nidar - tsomorri route
This is mapped
That said, turn by turn in needed in cities. On a straight road with a diversion coming after 50kms, you do not need turn by turn.
When you reach Kyun Tso, just take the right fork, and keep going straight. there is nowhere else to go.
You will climb thit zarbo la, get down and reach Nidar, and then cross bridge to hit the main road where right is Nyoma(1kms) and left goes to Mahe and then then onwards back to upshi

I've downloaded OsmAnd app and the India map on my Nexus 4. Will this work on my phone in Ladakh when I have no connectivity?

komodo. osmand with the preloaded osm india map will work, this is becasue the osm map is already preloaded in your phone. try it out with your data connectivity swithched off.

Depends whether it has rained heavily in past few days or not. After rainfall, the track worsens. That said, as long as you take care to tread on hard ground 2WD can do it with some difficulty. This route is not marshy, stick to track
