Hi,
had a look at this program Fri lunch time, just a quick squizz, but it looks impressive.
Similar to Ozi, but comes with maps for each state.
Tasmania comes with 1:25,000, 1:100,000, 1:250,000 and a whole lot of tastowns maps. The 1:25,000 set is worth over $900.
You can have split screen - i.e. look at 1:25,000 for detail and 1:250,000 for over view. Some states have satellite images as well.
Unfortunately I only had a few minutes to play with it, but am seriously considering a purchase.
Any one else had a look at it or own a copy?
cheers

Hi,
I suspect not - it is a NZ crowd who put it together.
I Googled 'TUMAUS' - never heard of them before, I would be interested as to the cause of your concern.

TUMAUS Victoria
The Ultimate Map of Australia was put together by a crowd from the Shaky Isles
I spent around $300 bucks on it for a mapping project I was working on, (that was with some added extras)
The interface was "clunky" and needed a PHD in Computer science to work out, no good for cum dunts like me.
Also it seemed like every week or so it would need to be reinstalled to get it to function, requiring another phone call to their service and support over in the Land of the Wrong White Crowd.
They no longer have a website up and running.
In the end I gave up....
I still have registered copy.

SupporterI can highly recommend the software. Ive been using it for many years in the UK and around Europe....
Now Im in Sydney Ive managed to get hold of some NSW maps - have yet to try them in anger with with GPS plugged in though.
For what its worth I find the memory map software MUCH better and more reliable than fugawi or OziExplorer.
Would like to see some 1:50k or 1:25k NSW maps though!!!!
Heres tp hoping!

agree, it is more user-friendly than OziExplorer for general use. Ozi is better for more involved GPS navigation work, eg., competition type stuff and importing maps and so on. Of the two, Memory Map gets used a lot more.Originally Posted by Yorkshire_Jon

I've had a play with the demo of Memory Map and I must say, I'm impressed how intuitive it is to use.

SubscriberI've been using it for a bit over 12 months and I think it's brilliant. Their after sales support has been good, very prompt and helpful.

The inclusion of UBD maps, which are searchable is great too.

I used Memory Map extensively in the UK before coming over here. It's a mature product that's been around for 6+ years now.
I highly recommend it, it's easy to use, reliable and stable. Of course in the UK you have fantastic map products courtesy of the Ordnance Survey and the fact that the UK is a small highly populated place.
It makes Oziexplorer look like a home made product (which it just about is), I hate all those buttons and options in Ozi - it's just over complicated for the sake of it IMHO.
But... a product is only as good as it's maps and that's where Ozi wins hands down as it has all the functions to let you scan and calibrate your own maps. Not sure if Memory Map in Aus does that or not.
