Graham & Lynne
When we load our waypoints and tracks, they are 200km exact north of were they are meant to be, have tried different Map Datums. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

Hi Graham & Lynne,
First of all what type of maps are you using,
I think I know what your problem is if your using the 250k maps
For example lets say we are using 250k Raster/Natmap and we want to view the
Adelaide map, the map you should be opening is SI5409
Adelaide.map
and I think your opening
Adelaide SI5409.map . The map number should be before the name of map
I also had this same problem on my PC , buy now it's fixed.
Try this and it should work.
I hope that made sense

Graham & Lynne, when I have a problem like that and there are a few other towns or significant points on the map, I try and get the correct Lat/Lon off another source and then use these as calibration points.
This method is useful if there are only a couple of Lat/Lon lines on the map.
Even get the right Lat/Lon of another map that you know is right.
There is a website that gives the Lat/Lon of most towns and cities in Australia, but unfortunately I have lost it off my bookmarks, perhaps someone else has got the site.
