OzTopo V2 missing tracks fixed ? GPS

Chris
I have been in constant touch with Brian at GPS--Oz , they have been working on it and from what I have been told from the horses mouth it should be finished and released in about 2 weeks.
alternative....For Garmin there is none , apart from the Garmin Contour CD.

.

Hi Chris
Every time I email them, they tell me it will be released "in a month", that was 3 mths ago !!!!!
They must have a different calendar than I have !!!!!!!

Neil

There is no comparison between T4Australia/Shonkymaps and OztopoV2. While OztopoV2 is not perfect (and never will be) and is missing SOME tracks the other two are missing MOST tracks (not to mention all city/town streets).

T4A is apparently a work in progress as people are adding and updating the product ...so theoretically it will improve over time but I figure by the time it has half the coverage of OzTopoV2 (assuming OzTopo is never updated again) I will be long dead.

The less detailed maps are however free (T4Australia/Shonkymaps) so not sure why you don’t just try one and see if it suits your requirements - if it does then it is the "best alternative" for you as you have saved ~$239.

If you find it missing detail in areas of your interest OztopoV2 is about the only other alternative besides making your own maps. There is still however no guarantee it will show tracks in the areas you want so if possible try and have a look or ask for specific details before you purchase. One trouble with OzTopoV2 is that it is linked to one GPS only..once you purchase it you are stuck with it i.e. if you dont like it you cant sell the maps to someone else without selling the GPS with them.

ohoh, nothing has changed ...

I will move over in august and will start my one year trip cross the continent, so I can't test and I apreceate your local knowledge about thouse tracks.

thanks for the status, I will wait then.
