Forestry Maps - Southwest WA

Howdy,
Thanks for the link. I was actually after hardcopy paper maps. *gasp*shock *horror*! Paper maps still have their uses...
I don't know how i would go about printing out those dvd maps.

No dramas I use paper maps also for those scales and printing large maps is a pain unless you have a large format printer (which I don't). Good luck with your search, Landgate (or whatever it is called at the moment) should have these.

Thanks!
Looks good.
Are they free to download off Landgate or do you need to order and pay for them?
Thanks

Ha ha! Virtually nothing is free from Govt in todays world! Even our great nature reserves aren't free any more!

The first link above says Landgate want $11.75 PDF or $24.50 POD.

Cheers ..

If only communism worked!

On the coverage index you attached - what are the highlighted sheets? Do you think they the only ones Landgate has in 1:25000?
I don't really want the cadastral info - otherwise the 1:50000 series might be ok...

Cheers

Hi

As mentioned below there will be an updated set of digital 1:25K maps available from the Exploroz shop in the near future. The map key provided in the link above by Ron N is for the old set of paper (and digital) maps. The new digital version covers more than twice the area of the old set and has more roads and tracks. I'd post a screen shot but currently out bush and don't have those maps with me.

Cheers

Thanks,
Are the electronic image formats on those dvds easy to be opened and printed on a large format printer?
Cheers

Hello

Sorry for late reply - been out bush.

At a guess I would say most programs that allow you to view "digital maps" on a PC will also have a print function. The 25K maps of SWWA I am referring to will be supplied in OZF and ECW format ...so will be viewable in OziExplorer (which has a print function) and a range of other programs (CompeGPS Land, TrackRanger, plus other GPS mapping programs and various GIS programs) ...most of which I would assume will have a print function....so I would say yes they are easily printed.

However this is subject to you having the "large format printer" installed on the same PC as the map viewing program you are using. If you just turned up at a print shop and said print these maps you may have problems as they may no be able to open OZF or ECW image formats.

Cheers
Greg
