NSW Maritime Boating Maps NSW Maritime have released their boating maps in PDF format for download from their website. We have converted and calibrated these maps to our OZF format for easy use with OziExplorer and OziExplorerCE and are providing these maps as a download. The calibrated OZF maps in this download can only be used with OziExplorer and OziExplorerCE.
The Australian Hydrographic Service has recently added Seafarer GeoTIFF toits digital product range. Seafarer Geotiff are geo-referenced raster images ofthe Australian Navigational Series in GeoTIFF Format. These maps can be importedinto OziExplorer.
OZraster is a series of very detailed maps suitable for use in a wide variety of GPS mapping software. They can be used with popular GPS navigation programs such as OziExplorer (PC, CE and Android), VMS Off-Road (Portable and in-Dash), Mud Map M7 (Ozi CE), Mud Map 2 (iPad and iPhone), and Two-Nav (PC and iPad).
Thanks for the new version. Pity the resolution is poorer than earlier versions, worse than v14 when it started to deteriorate. The text is pixelated, to be honest it looks ugly. This might be done to make the map sizes manageable, but for me resolution is the critical factor, size is unimportant. Please dont see this as a complaint, rather a suggestion for future releases. I appreciate that it is free and willing to help and donate more if the maps can be improved.
But for our 4WD travels in north-east NSW, our experience is that NSW Topographic maps offer the most information, GaiaGPS is still our favourite app, and HemaX Premium is an additional bonus.
TLDR: If you are exploring north east NSW by 4WD, GaiaGPS is the best GPS navigation app with NSW LPI topographic maps. If you are heading for the remote desert tracks in outback WA, SA or NT, consider either Hema books or Hema maps on Memory Map, as open source maps may not be adequate.
While our phones are our best friends, we still like to carry a humble printed map or map book. Printed maps give a good overview, and the travel information and photos nicely complement a digital navigation app. And you can have the satisfaction of ticking off each trek on the index page in your book as you complete it! Check out our guidebook for 4WD Treks in northeast NSW.
But once we slow down and get dirty on 4WD bush tracks, we need a quality navigation app and a topographic map with good local detail. We switch between the LPI NSW Topographic map (for information on gates, property boundaries, forestry tracks etc) and open-source maps (less cluttered, easy to read). Occasionally, we also refer to satellite imagery to see what the land looks like.
For the style of 4WD adventuring that we do, map quality is essential. The most accurate and informative maps for exploring north-east NSW are the NSW LPI Topographical maps, HemaX Premium, open-source maps, and state forest maps available at a scale around 1:25,000.
All the apps reviewed provide core functionality for creating routes, tracking and setting waypoints. What sets one apart from the others is the range of maps layers, depth of features and ease of use.
No one app, or map, is perfect, choose the tools that best meet your 4WD adventuring needs. For us in north east NSW, that is usually GaiaGPS which is competitively priced, with a good collection of maps and fully developed features.
Australia-wide Topographic Toppo Digital Maps are detailed digital maps covering Australia's beautiful surface. They cover the whole of Australia at 1:250 000 scale with more referenced land features than most other maps. These maps usually cost $99 on their own.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable App for the iPad that will be able to use my current OZF maps (from OziExplorer)? I'm using BitMap, but uploading maps to the device is fraught with crashes (more so on the iPhone).
I now have more maps in 4WD Australia than I did in OziExp including all the TasMap sheets and am very happy with it's performance by comparison, though I tend to use GPS Kit HD for walking mostly using the iPhone.
Hema (4WD Oz) and Memory Map have now joined forces and their maps are interchangeable; you can only add whatever in-app purchase maps they make available from time to time so you are totally at their mercy. Same with MudMap.
Have a look at twonav. I use it all the time for off road. Download their pc software free trial and convert the ozf file to its format and copy them in. Did 11500km trip from sydney to darwin and back recently and had 1:250km maps for the whole trip.
I have the purchased version. Didn't have a trial version when I grabbed it. Apparently the trial version doesn't let you install your own maps but can still use whatever maps it comes with the trial functionality.
I have an early version of Mud Map (when it was free) and purchased a bunch of Westprint maps through them. Maps are good but don't go down far enough for accurate location in my mind and cant be used in any other program. Then they updated their program and wanted me to pay for the upgrade with more maps I didn't need. Thats when I decided I would not invest any more money into maps that can only be used with 1 program.
I downloaded all the 1:250k maps from the geoscience website, used the trial version of the compegps desktop software and converted them to the twonav format. Then merged all the files into larger sections ie. 1 file per state.
For getting round in the truck (some photos here though I've given up posting recent stuff) I find I need things like contours, water bodies, vegetation type, with "historic" and current road and track details, along with bores, Telecom towers, sand-dunes ... all the details that Hema and others offer on their 250k maps.
Do any of these maps show parking bays on the main roads. I am looking for an app for the iPad that will show me all the Parking/Truck bays along main routes in WA. Specifically where they are and the distance between them.
That may be so, it suits me. But it's a personal decision depending on your needs and how much you value your time; as I've said there is no possibility for me of importing even a tiny fraction of what I need into BitMap. Hema does offer specific maps for Vic high country (east), Snowy Kosciuyszko, and even their Vic state map and 1:250k is pretty detailed.
Looking at the latest reviews, people are saying you need a PC and you've obviously got one because you used OziExplorer, so maybe you could ask the developers what comes with it at the $7.49. If it did include the 250k:1 that would be a good price just for those maps.
Also have you looked at GPS Kit HD ? The areas you mention would have some Telstra NextG coverage and GPS Kit offers all the same online maps as Motion X and ... it also offers Google Satellite, Street Cycling, and Terrain ... and can pre-cache them for the places that don't have phone-data coverage though it does not have any "paper map" equivalents. It's a pretty good product in regard to other features.
I had no issue opening them with the land app but the vic 25k maps had an issue. This was about 18months ago due to the datum used. It was going to be looked at as an issue, but I have not tried it again since as the are not needed by me.
Will look into it. The reason for the PC, I gather, is their business model where you download the maps into the PC before you send it to your iDevice to get around iTunes. Don't know why they don't have a OSX version, as CompeGPS do with their Land software (which has the same model).
That's part of the joy of the iPad, it's so easy to switch between alternative apps with different maps to get the best picture of particular areas. And great to throw some cheaper apps into the mix, like GPSKit and MotionX.
For sure. At the time I purchased MM the 250:1 for all of Oz was a free in-app purchase. I also bought other maps in-app, though I did also download them into Memory Map for Windows (similar to but not as complex/sophisticated as OziExplorer) when I got impatient loading tiles directly onto the iPad.
