Mate,
There are a heap of maps around, the problem is copyright. You might get in trouble with the Mods for asking for maps.
I can help you if you need a hand converting maps to "ozi" format. PM me if you need a hand.

If you find the area on GoogleEarth, and post on here the top left coordinate and the bottom right coordinate of a rectangle of the area you are interested in, I can pull it off Google Maps and it will be calibrated for Ozi Exp.
I do this with GoogleMapViewer, and the file size is limited, so the bigger the area you choose, the smaller the scale of the map I can get.
cheers

Hi
GoogleMV isn't perfect, some times it fails with out warning, but as long as I'm not too ambitious about how much I want to download it will usually get what I want.
It downloads a .jpg which can be a bit slow in OziExplorer, but if I change it to a .ozf the file size increases, but OziExplorer handles it very quickly.
cheers
