Digital mapping

Thanks Footloose,

So you are saying the Natmap series doesn't have those extra details?

AFAIk no the Natmap series doesn't. If I want to plan a trip I use GDT. If I want to see detail, I use Natmap. GDT tells me where to get fuel, where I can camp etc Natmap doesn't.

Natmap is just a map albeit a good one , GDT are planning tools

I believe that what Earvin is referring to is the Hema 4WD map collection that includes the NatMap Raster series as well as most of their other digital maps including the GDT's.

You can see a description on Hema's website ......

I have GDT and the natmap series, I only find them ok, they are all 1:250,000, therefore detail isn't that great, particularly with the natmap series.
However there are a few that are good, for the Vic high country the rooftop series are very good, I also have 1:25,000 for south east SA and also the Otways, both cover a large area.

Where do I get more of this type?

I also have a series of detailed 1:25,000 maps of Vic, but there are 1300 of them, my PDA doesn't like that many and I found Oziexplorer would crash......

Not too useful when that happens....
