Visit www.oziexplorer.com

You will find al the map files for the natmap CD (you can also do it through the CD but with errors.
The ones on the site are better.

Peter, try www.gpsoz.com.au They provide the files plus heaps of information on what you need to do. Have a look at the "OziExplorer Users" page on the GPSOZ site. They are also very friendly and helpful folk.

Also, try the Yahoo OziExplorer group. There's some really helpful info and advice to be had there.Be good, or be quick.

Peter,

If you tell me your email address I will email them to you, they are 1k each anyway and compressed should be OK.

Under the Oziexplorer directory there is a folder call maps, create a folder there called natmap or whatever and then go to file (on oziexplorer) and go to "change image file name, path and drive and tell it where to find the CD.

Alternativelly you can copy the contents of both CDs under the same directory and it will work fine

The later is what I do as it works faster.
