Thread: Victoria (Australia) Maps with Oziexplorer?

i've been after maps for victoria too, grab a copy of the melways, and start scanning! That's about the only thing you can do - it's easy to calibrate with oziexplorer, just drive to a spot, mark it on the map and type in the coordinates. I don't have any maps of suburbs, i mainly use it when travelling around country/bush, it's great for dirt roads and long trips.

Don't see any reason why you can't use a laptop, just get a car-adapter, should be fine. It won't be drawing enough power to make it hard for the car to start. If you have a decent battery you should be able to use if for ages without worrying about draining it.

Funny you mentioned that i've actually started to create a map with www.whereis.com.au

I'v zoomed into the right angle and added the images together and removed the logo's after i have them all merged

It will take a while but it will look nice cause all the images arnt scanned

Only problem is the actual map starts to desync when i start doing the surounding area's

I do have a CD that is a huge digital melways map of victoria and i could merge the images together tme me 2hours max to get all of victoria done

Problem is i can't find the cd

Has anyone else tryed to make maps for Australia?

u can download the topo 250k raster maps of whole of australia from emule, 2cds, mapsend s&d is also available through emule 160mb+, or u can get the free destinator 3 aus ed cd from destinator.com.au, and download destinator 2 sdk from emule to view the maps, thats what im doing atm until i can find distinator 3 sdk...

Well i downloaded MAPSEND S&D but i am guessing there is no way to convert the maps to images or .maps for oziexplorer?

My problem is im on a 33.6k and it take to long to download the raster maps.

How big would just Victoria be?

Id really like to get thoese raster maps but emule just wont download for me it just wont start the download so i can't get it but i wouldnt be able to get it cause of the long waiting time.

guess no1 wants to send me a cd joke

PM ur address and ill post em to ya

i dont have a car but have a WM5 devise so can u advise me people where to get a full map of melbourne like 'Melway' or something.
Many thanks

can somebody upload them to rapidshare or whateverelse service?
