    Default Topographic maps, Australia

    Hi guys

    I successfully installed topo maps for Australia on a Garmin Asus A50, works great, only problem is, the contour lines are in ft not metric, and the settings under Units are set to m/km.

    I think the *.img file I downloaded must have been created with the units set in ft.

    Any ideas on how I can change this?

    So what does the 0.01 actually give you?

    Anyone seen Oztopo v4 yet?

    apparently.. nothing this product 3.01 was released in October 2010:

    TOPO Australia & New Zealand 3.01
    Version: 3.01
    Released: Oct, 2010

    so totally bogus...

    Garmin will release Topo ANZ v4 soon. preview page, interactive map:

    That may be a bit harsh? There are subtle differences in my copies.
    Just checking one tile near home (the one with 10 year+ errors).

    Reported by GMapTool:

    v3.00 - 08288590.img, length 4268032 - date 28.07.2010 12:20:52
    v3.01 - 08300575.img, length 4268032 - date 15.10.2010 17:47:54

    PS. I hope your v4 link is just a mock-up by Garmin. It still has road errors on the above tile that are probably 15 years old.
    Even City Navigator dated 2010 has it correct.

    PPS.
    v3.00 - 702 tiles - 2,677,749,246 bytes
    v3.01 - 408 tiles - 2,673,087,488 bytes
