Hi there,
I have just purchased ozi explorer and was wondering if anyone has any digital to swap or can send me on
cape york or east coast NSW. I know there are the plotswap but is there anywhere someone can swap actual digital maps?
cheers
JB

Hello Jayse76 - be careful requesting swaps or freebies of digital maps (and actually carrying out the “deal”) - the vast majority of good maps are copyright and you are making a blatent criminal of yourself if you “share” around maps/DVD/CDs as it is against the law to copy them your self give away, swap or sell. Not saying this was your intention -just making sure you are aware of this fact.
It is no different to stealing someone’s kayak (to quote a recent example of theft).
There is a number of free maps around but I think you will find the ones that are of most use to will have to be payed for…like most others do. The
exploroz shop has a good selection. As suggested the people at www.gpsaustralia.net/ will provide advice on acquiring free and legal maps which may or may not suit your purpose and the Auss topo 250K maps can be downloaded one at a time from the Geoscience Australia website www.ga.gov.au/ .though you may find it more cost/time effective just to buy the entire lot on disc.
Have fun
Cheers
