Hi all
Wanting to buy maps, know you can buy paper, but i want the digital ones, Live in vic can you get 1:25000 of all of vic?
Can you get 1:25000 of Australia:
What i really want is a map that has the track detail of a 1:25000, but at any scale. Its all about the roads.

You said you had heaps of states on SD, with all 4WD tracks. You have to use a magellan product to upload maps yeah, what maps do you have. Are they map send Oz. Saw them at a show once, didn't find them that impressive, maybe just looking in wrong place

Suggest you join the OziExplorer list server:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OziUsers-L
for desktop computers
or
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ozi-UsersCE
Windows CE users (eg: like iPaq, Jornada etc)
www.oziexplorer.com is the main website.
The 1:250,000 maps can be had from Natmap (formerly Auslig)
www.auslig.gov.au/products/maps/raster250k/
I have a large collection of digital maps from topo maps to street level of all of Victoria and N.S.W; and always looking to add to it.
The mapping for the actual GPS units is extortionate in price, cannot be updated or modified by you etc. This is the same for all GPS mapping units like Magellan, Garmin, Holux, Trimble etc. etc.

Benna, yes I use Magellan mapsend for the Meridian Platinum I have. Currently I have Vic, NSW, ACT and QLD on one 64Mb SD card which is almost full. To cover the rest of Oz I'll have to get another SD card.
The detail on Mapsend isn't as good as a good topographic map but it is suprising just how much info they have non the less. As an example when driving
home on some country roads it even shows the driveways to a number of homes as I pass them.
When I am able, I will get ozie explorer and a laptop for more detailed mapping.
Regards Andrew.
