Natmap Rapster mapsheets

Dave,

they'll show all the tracks but not camping areas. I'll send you a screen shot if you give an email address.Bob

Dave,
they have excellent detail as they are paper topo maps on cd. As to along the murray, im thinking of doing that trip at xmas & checked my Nat Maps, I dont think they show all tracks as some of the map datums are fairly old, couldn't see the islands to camp on i have read about in posts. Regards Bob
Where to next

Dave,
The Natmap Rastermaps are at a scale of 250,000 to 1. Most of my navigation has been done with 100,000 to 1, and I have just started using oziexplorer and the natmaps set. Ive have travelled extensively through the high country, and many other Nat. Parks in Victoria, as well as a couple of desert/outback treks in a larger group. It is my opinion that the Natmap set (or any map at 1:250,000 for that matter) would be suitable for most outback touring, as the tracks and roads are few and far between, as are the intersections, But in "closer in country" with more tracks, intersections, and winding tracks etc. I find 1:250,000 scale maps just dont have the detail. 1:100,000 is my preference in "tighter "country,

If you've got , or are thinking about getting Oziexplorer, 1:100,000 digital maps can add up in cost, but Ozi E has an excellent function where you can scan paper maps and use them just like you would digital ones. I have scaned most of a CFA mapbook, plus others and now use these with Ozi E. It sounds like a bit of a PITA, but once youve got it all working, Its absolutely fantastic navigation tool.

Hope this helps some,

Jarrod.
