I have read this thread with interest and would like to add a few points.

I bought the maps from Mr Alabi's company in 2007 and I have used it in Lagos since.

I gave a positive feedback that the accuracy as at then in Lagos was about 75%, it help as it took me to most places and as at then the house numbers were not working.

I was sceptical as well initially, but because Mr Alabi lives in the UK and I was able to go to his place for a live Demo, I decided to buy although it was expensive compared to my TomTom.

I have just contacted him again as he asked me towards the end of 2008 to come for a free upgrade and I did not show up. But he has just replied to me again to come for an upgrade of the maps to the 200 cities now covered.

This shows credibility on his part and he took all my comments on-board when i came back from Lagos in 2007.

There are challenges without a doubt as most of the roads in VI were suddenly changed to one way roads and he immediately told me he was going to get his field guys to investigate again.

I am looking forward to using the new maps in some few weeks and I will come back to give my honest opinion about it.

Not sure if there are good and cheap hotels in Ikeja , the two doesn't go together.

The bathrooms in most hotels is the issue.

Here are a few from my experience

A :Blue ribbon hotel -- 3 Allen lane off off Allen Avenue I have used them a number of times 12k to 25k per night

B: Governor hotel -- a bit off @ Omole Estate Phase 1 Ogba-Isheri, Lagos.

C: The devine luxury suites : 17 - 19 Abel Oreniyi street , off salvation road Opebi lagos. 20k - 25k But got a few airline retainer accts , so good.

D: savoy suites - isaac john street : very spacious , very nice rooms and no issue with power and cleanliness, however the bathrooms are not as good as they were in 2007. 20 - 25k per night

Enjoy,
