You should speak with Joe Berk, aka CSC Guy. He has visited the AKT company and ridden the same bike you have, from what I remember hodim reporting a few months ago or a year back. He has 'connections' down there with that company and their Zongshens, being the CSC guy for the US here. Yes Culcune, I believe I read that report. He would be a good contact if he has time to deal with an Olgeezer! |

Did you meet up with them again, or is this a photo from last year? If it is a new photo, how is their English now?

Never saw them again. They were just fun to be around, kids and parents and just fumbling with the language barrier. The photo was from last year, March 2016 I think.

I need navigation advice from the tech savvy members!
I will be navigating by using an iphone7. I have ordered a T-Mobile sim card for this unlocked phone. T-Mobile has cell coverage through Telifonica in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, Supposedly? Last year I just bought sim cards in Colombia and Ecuador and they worked but it was a real pain going into the providers office and getting service set up after I got there. Now, assuming I have some cell coverage I would like to enhance my maps with Google offline maps for use in navigating since I will most likely be in areas with little or no cellular data.
Anyone have advice or have used google maps offline for this purpose? I have a week before I fly to Medellin. Thanks Joe (Olegeezer) |
