LMAO!!!
1) These people who break laptops is their own fault.
So a mount breaking is those peoples fault, what fools.. How dumb of me not to realise that was Petes fault.
2) ... and beilive that if you truly know what your doing with the software and have a setup that is smart and "user freindly" it's the only way to go.
Until laptop HD dies, screen dies, battery dies, software crash... the list goes on..
3) Try buying the all SW50k or all of the Oz250k maps, then laminate them. Bloody hell you could by yourself a good laptop for less!
I have all the maps of the areas I travel in 1:25k. Why wouldnt I? Why would I want a map of FNW WA?
I could buy a laptop for less, and end up with less.
3)What about 3d? Truckster, you didn't mention that part. Do that with your paper map.... Or does that happen automatically when your stopped standing in the rain trying to hold your laminated map down over the bonnet in the wind?
3d? Are you talking about contour lines? every map I use has them, and you can read that p1ss easy off the map if you have .01% of a brain. its not hard really...
YMMV
