EOTopo Topographic Map

EOTopo – detailed topographic mapping of Australia for navigation, trip planning and exploration. View online or download for offline use in the ExplorOz Traveller app.

About EOTopo

EOTopo is the proprietary topographic map developed and maintained by ExplorOz, the travel platform created by I.T. Beyond Pty Ltd, for navigation, trip planning and exploration within the Traveller app - from city streets to remote tracks.

Unlike many navigation apps that rely on generic third-party mapping, EOTopo is a dedicated Australian mapping product. It combines national datasets, field research, remote travel knowledge and continual data refinement into a single, consistent map of Australia, with frequent updates released as new map editions, usually annually.

EOTopo uses customised vector mapping and bespoke cartographic styling designed specifically for Australian travel and outdoor navigation. Roads, 4WD tracks, hiking trails, MTB networks and shared access routes are visually differentiated to help users interpret terrain, access and route types more easily across both urban and remote areas.

Built for complete coverage, not just major roads

Each edition is produced as a complete national map of Australia, maintaining the same level of detail whether you are navigating in a city, regional area or remote track network.

This whole-of-country approach is what makes EOTopo suitable for both everyday navigation and remote travel, with extensive road, track and terrain detail across Australia.

EOTopo is widely used by experienced 4WD travellers, hikers, remote workers and outdoor explorers who require detailed mapping beyond standard navigation apps.

To use EOTopo for offline navigation, tracking and trip planning, download the ExplorOz Traveller app.

Features & Map Details

What makes EOTopo different

EOTopo is a true topographic map, meaning it shows the shape of the land as well as roads, tracks and terrain features in one integrated mapping system. It combines detailed terrain mapping with extensive travel and access data across Australia. Key features include:

10m contour lines showing terrain and elevation
Landforms including ridges, valleys and watercourses
Extensive road and track mapping across Australia
Remote tracks often missing or poorly represented in mainstream maps
Walking tracks, hiking trails and MTB networks
National parks, reserves, land boundaries and access information
Detailed urban mapping including service roads, rail corridors and shared path networks

Customised vector mapping designed for outdoor navigation.

Unlike static raster maps, EOTopo is a multi-scale vector map designed to progressively reveal detail as you zoom. The map styling is purpose-built to help users visually interpret terrain, transport types and access conditions more easily across both urban and remote environments.

Roads, 4WD tracks, hiking trails, MTB routes and shared-use paths are styled differently to improve readability and route interpretation. This customised cartographic approach helps users quickly distinguish between vehicle routes, walking trails and cycling networks without needing to rely solely on labels.

Built using modern digital mapping frameworks, EOTopo also allows smooth zooming, scalable detail and ongoing refinement across the entire map system.

Using EOTopo

EOTopo is designed for use within the ExplorOz Traveller app, where it provides topographic mapping for navigation, tracking and trip planning across Australia.

The Traveller app always displays the latest EOTopo map when online, while your downloaded EOTopo edition is used when travelling offline.

Once downloaded in the Traveller app, EOTopo can be used offline without mobile coverage across Australia. This allows detailed topographic mapping to remain available in remote areas without needing an internet connection.

TIP	See the ExplorOz Traveller page for app features, offline setup, subscriptions and device compatibility.

Map Editions & Updates

EOTopo map editions

EOTopo is released as a new map edition each year to reflect how Australia continually changes over time. Each edition is a complete snapshot of the EOTopo map at the time of release.New editions typically include:

new and updated roads and tracks
changes to sealed and unsealed road surfaces
walking tracks, hiking trails and MTB networks
urban development and infrastructure changes
national parks, reserves and land access updates
Indigenous Protected Areas and boundary changes
corrections from field research and user feedback

Because EOTopo is developed as a complete national mapping product, updates occur across both populated and remote areas of Australia - not just major roads or cities.

EOTopo edition lifecycle and updates

Each edition is identified by year (for example EOTopo 2026).

Updates and improvements are released in new editions rather than changing an existing edition after purchase.

For example, EOTopo 2026 remains a fixed map edition, while later updates are released as newer editions such as EOTopo 2027.

Single-edition purchases remain supported for offline use within current versions of the Traveller app for up to 4 years from release. Older unsupported editions may eventually be removed from newer versions of the app as the platform evolves.

Upgrading to a newer edition is optional and depends on whether you want access to the latest map updates and improvements.

Getting EOTopo

EOTopo is available for use within the ExplorOz Traveller app, with both subscription and single-edition access options available.

Subscription options provide access to the latest EOTopo editions while active, while single-edition purchases provide offline access to one selected map edition for its supported lifecycle period.

TIP	See the ExplorOz Traveller page for subscription details, Membership features and setup information.
