Metro Guide Australia..........

Hi Reiner,

I agree with what you are saying about Metroguide not showing most signifcant waterway systems very well. It seems to show most dams as the single line river before the dam went in.

You can download the Tracks4Australia maps for free and install them as well on your GPS.

We went bush last weekend and the major tracks were better and named properly on the Metroguide maps but the minor tracks were more detailed using the T4A maps.

I just wish Garmin/Mapsource would pull their finger out and give us the equivalent set of topographicals for Australia that they have available in the U.S. Every year for the last 3 years somone says they will be released by the end of the year.

I just send Johnny Appleseed and Garmin a unhappy e-mail regarding the Metroguide. It wont make any changes but I feel better :-)

Hence the name METRO guide?

their is a demo you can use to view the maps, the lastest version 6 of city navigator has all the metroguide data in it.

I was going to post a 'post' asking for a evaluation sample of City Navigator Australia V6.
Does anyone have a copy that i can have a look at?

I have the Garmin Mapsource and Waypointer software, and i am only interested in the Gold Coast Area. Using a Etrex unit. So can see all the streets etc of the Gold Coast?

How do the unlock codes work. I think someone mentioned that you can unlock cetain sections - do you pay Garmin to get the codes for the area you want to look at or use?

But if anyone can let me have a look at City Navigator Australia V6 i would be gratefull.
Thanks,
Alan.

Pluto, I tried to open the T4A files from the Metroguide and it wont let me do it saying can't open img files. Is there a way around it?
Thanks
Reiner

Hi Bonz,

The only area i really wanted to have a look at was the Gold Coast.
I'm just wanting to see how good all this stuff is.

If it's possible to email me 'something', could you send it to aheywood@bigpond.net.au

I have Mapsource but could not get the Tracks4Australia img to work. But i think i need MetroGuide to get T4A to work? Too much money to 'have a look'.

If you can help, it would be appreicated.

Thanks,
Alan.
