OziExplorer users (particularly in NSW)

For those that use OziExplorer a download from this site
http://sourceforge.net/projects/maprequest/
will enable you to download maps and create the .map file from the NSW LPI site.

The maps don't have any grid so are really only applicable in a mapping program


Its a bit fiddly (esp if not very computer literate) and requires you to have java installed on your computer (available here)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

with a bit of fiddling you can get very acceptable resolution maps of any part of NSW with the latest data.

For our Qld counterparts there is a link to some qld mapping but I've had a look at it and quite frankly its crap (I looked at the area around Caboolture).

G'day Bushie,

I've tried to access the NSW LPI site with maps:

http://maps.nsw.gov.au/

No luck. Appears that there has been some bureaucratic shuffling

Do you a have current link?

Mahn,

That link still works OK for me - It takes you to a disclaimer page first.

http://maps.nsw.gov.au/viewer.htm should take you straight in.

The maprequest app allows you to download multiple windows from the server and assembels them as a single page (or something like that) the end result is you end up with a map you can use in Ozi.
