OK, I've got the eTrex Legend, I've got OziExplorer, I've got a Tablet PC, I've got them connected and talking, now I need maps.
This is the bit I get confused. There is a CD of Australia wide for $99. They're 1:250,000 and I think not detailed enough for any real benefit. I want to go to Watagans, Blue Mountains, South Coast, few hours from
Sydney range.
I don't have thousands of dollars to buy CD's full of maps I won't use. Can someone PLEASE give me a tip on how to get a few maps of the local NP's like Yengo and Watagans.
I'm going loopy trying to figure it out. All roads seem to point to MONEY !!!! Pardon the pun.
Thanks very much in advance.
Jason.

Thanks guys, I'm in IT so I have the toys. It seems I'm going to have to buy and scan a LOT of maps. When I mentioned Blue Mountains at the Map Centre, there were about 8 maps to buy just for that area I was interested in.
Each map is going to be about 6 - 9 A4 pages, so that's heaps.
Oh
well, will give me something to do whilst I'm not out there.
I actually thought I'd heard of a place that had a large A0 or poster scanner. This would be handy.
Cheers and thanks for you replies.
Smocky.
