Hi All,
Maybe a verry simple/nieve question for many of you, but anyway
Is there a (recomended) progam/CD that has offroad maps that can be easily viewed on a home PC then printed of as needed? I know many of you have GPS connected laptops that accompany you on trips these days but thats all out of my league at this stage, scrolling arround with a mouse has to be easier than constantly opening & closing Hemas & Rooftops etc.
Cheers............Browny

Browny,
Have a look in the
shop section of this page, Australia 4WD Raster Map Collection on DVD looks like the CD you're after...

OK I'm dumb. What is "Raster" map? Just a brand name?

Essentially ALL images eg digital photographs (normally jpeg images) etc are raster format....
Just the name for the format of the data, as opposed to "Vector" data.....which consists of points, lines and polygons formed from lines joining "x" and "y" coordinates.

Yes there are, ranging from $70 upwards to very sophisticated mapping software.
one place I have seen a demonstration on a laptop was at this link.
