Maps of Fraser Is \ Rainbow Beach

[djhampson]

Can anyone tell me of an easy way of getting a map of Fraser Island \ Rainbow Beach for use with OziExplorer?

In electronic form would be the best.

Thanks.

The HEMA 4wd maps come with one I think. :)

Ha ha ha - don;t laugh - we are going to Moreton on Oz Day w/end and Fraser in Feb !

The easiest way would be to send me an email.

don't know if this is what you are looking for but try Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/)

pm me with your email and I'll have a look and see what I can find. :)

Failing everything else you could get a good paper map of Fraser, scan it and calibrate it for OziExplorer - not too hard once you get the hang of it. If you only have an A4 scanner you'll need to scan and calibrate several files. It's more work but not a huge issue for OziExplorer coz will automatically find any adjacent maps and load them. Otherwise you could use stitching software to join the scans up. ( or find a nice big scanner.)

However the Hema Fraser Island map CD is only thirty bucks, and its already formatted for OziExplorer. Personally I'd be saving the hassles and getting that.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I now have the HEMA maps which are very good.

[VladTepes]

That they are.

Even if they have switched from Discos to Patrols !

[djhampson]

Funny you mention that - I saw one of their Patrols today.

[VladTepes]

mapping the suburbs for the soccer mums were they ?

Besides why would you need a GPS map of the place - surely a paper HEMA map (or even the free map in the brochure the EPA send out or from their website) would do, along with my EXCELLENT trip reports, of course.
