- Bhera (M2) to Shahpur (N60) (24th March 2008)
- part of N70 (Multan to Forte Manroe via Sukheki) (25th March 2008)
- the road from Lawrencepur (N5) to Topi (GIKI) (25th March 2008)
- DG Khan (N70) to Rajan Pur (Shaikh Zaid Rd) (25th March 2008)
- Rajan Pur to Sadiqabad (N5) short cut (25th March 2008)
- Lilla (M2) to Khushab (N60) (26th March 2008)

- Extended N35 past Abbottabad city (7th April 2008)
- Added road from Abbottabad to Shimla hill with alternative road (7th April 2008)

- Added Swabi to Topi Road for those traveling from Anbar Interchange to GIKI (11th April 2008)

- Added missing portion of N75 (Murree Expressway) (12th July 2008)
Places of interest:
- Can do the N75 once I know its open for traffic ;) (Road is open but the Missiary to Murree road is under construction - waiting eagerly) (DONE 12th July 2008)
- Trip to Nathia Gali and Bhurban (Almost made it on 5th April 2008 but had to turn around due to heavy rainfall) (Again failed on 3rd May 2008)
- Trip to K2 base camp via Khunjerab Pass
- Road trip to Karachi from Islamabad (maybe after M4 and M9)
Equipment:
- Garmin eTrex Legend (1 MB) used for tracks and waypoints, for sale if somebody needs it.
- i.Trek M6 Bluetooth GPS used with SE P910i running SmartComGPS for traces, navigation, and maintaining speed limit ;)
- Nokia E90 (built-in GPS) running MGMaps with OSM Mapnik tiles and TrekBuddy, waiting for SmartComGPS to be released
- GPSMid nice piece of software using vector OSM data but does not work on E90 :(
