OZ topo V2

Gidday Greg,
From your many replies on the subject of mapping you seem to have a great deal of knowledge. I watched a demo the other day at "The Electric Bug" retailer of the Nuvi 760. It had Mapsource City Navigator and Contours maps, plus T4A. I was quite impressed with the T4A add-ins around SA so I joined their group. What do you think of the concept? It is certainly cheap compared with the commercial options!

As far as David B's problem goes, I recall that the Nuvi demonstrator had to disable some of the available maps to demonstrate T4A, perhaps the same applies for OzTopo?

Hello - my many replies related to mapping are more an indication of my interest in maps than any great knowledge. A lot of my responses are simply quotes form other erudite map people..but anyway back to subject. T4A is good concept - I am not sure how it is traveling at the moment as it is a big task gathering track info from many people and then editing and creating usable maps. When was the last updated mapset made available?. Other people are doing a similar thing, arguably in a better fashion

RE: OztopoV2 - yes when you have it loaded onto the gps you must ensure other map sets are turn off as it is over ridden by mapsets such as City Navigator. This however will not solve problem in initial post as it related to displaying maps on the PC not the GPS.

Contours will display over the top of the roads when loaded on the GPS as they are a transparent layer. It is however not possible to display the oztopo contours over the top of oztopo roads on Mapsource on the PC. As I mentioned to solve this problem they have supplied an additional maps set that has the roads and contours combined. You have to install this separately to the standard install. It is recommended that you do not upload this map set to the GPS as it will cause issues relating to memory usage.

Cheers
Greg
