Mapping Software

[bittersweet]

Just trying to get my head round the mapping software we have installed ready for the trip out down under (or as this is an Australian forum is it Up Over) Got Oziexplorer on at the mo and have not got the foggiest how to get maps on it other than the nigh on useless one that came with it. Have seen something about Trackranger but which is best?

I want something that is numpty proof (Bren is not the best with computers and I won't be there most of the time)

Don't mind paying for maps but much prefer the F word - free that is, I am a Yorkshire lass through and through.

Have a look in the GPS Section (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/gps/).

There are heaps of ideas in there as to which maps to use.

Hi B,

Oziexplorer is well supported and probably more popular than Trackranger.

Try this site: GPS Australia - powered by vBulletin (http://www.gpsaustralia.net/forums/)

They have map downloads with the F word at least for NSW in the Maps section: GPS Australia - ::New South Wales:: (http://www.gpsaustralia.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=5)

Thanks a lot for the quick help and pointing me in the right direction. I will have a good look there.

I apologise for sticking this in the wrong place but I shall plead it being past my bedtime. :p
