Whose counting the days to
innamincka? i know we are.
Well called into the track
ranger office yesterday as i have been having a few minor problems getting the natmaps to run. Came away with a new set of maps the hema raster map collection and 2005 version of natmap premiums.
I have had issues with the older version of natmap ever since I installed them running oziexplorer including the pointer being off course a lot of times (i put it down to an older style gps)anyway they tell me there were several issue with the natmaps so i am about to load the 2005 version and see what happens .
Trevor gave me some of his valuable time (as trackranger is only part of his business)and explained some of the problems i was having and helped me sort them out ,showed me some extra bits and pieces and updated my trackranger to latest version, and how to use the shortcuts to my advantage
It was a pity he was so busy as in the time I was there he showed me quite abit and i could have easily leant more
I am not associated with this business but highly recomend them

Steve,
I have been a user of the NATMAP Raster premium maps (2005) for some years and have had no real need to add any others.
I use my copy with OziExplorer which I have both on a Laptop (not used as much now) and on a PDA. (much more compact and does everything the Laptop version does)
Perhaps one thing the folks at the Trackranger office failed to advise you was that a new release of the NATMAP series (2008) is imminent.
The 2005 version is fine, but perhaps it's getting a little out of date now and the new version should correct some deficiencies in the older version.
It would be interesting to hear from you how you find the Hema Maps over a period of time.
I have the printed Hema Maps supplied with the SA Desert Parks Pass and find them quite detailed, but probably no more so than the NATMAP raster series I view on the screen.
Bill.

By the way Steve,
There are two versions of NATMAP Raster 2005
NATMAP Raster 2005 (CD-ROM)
NATMAP Rster Premium 2005 (DVD-ROM)
The Premium version provides more features than the standard version.
