Bushwalk Australia

Hi,

I'm after some opinions.

I'm looking at buying a GPS (most likely the new Garmin Oregon 600) I was looking at buying the 600T but its only loaded with 1:100K maps.

I see there are a number of choices for aftermarket 1:25k which would be far better.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
EB

OzTopo if you are willing to fork the price. Otherwise a mix of OSM (OpenStreetMap - free) and Contour Australia ($20) can also work.

If you are after something cheap, try OpenCycleMap. Free 10m contours topo with most bushwalking tracks on it.
You can download them here: http://mapas.alternativaslibres.es/descargas.php
The page is spanish but still works


If you want more detail try Contours Australia, 5m contours topo for ~20$. This is only contours though - must be combined with another map. http://www.lizarddrinking.net/purchase.html

Tracks4Australia is a digitisation of the old 250K maps. Innacurate. Free. Compact (50mb total)
