Any news of an update to V5?
G'day,
I believe GARmin have admitted defeat!
The little Aussie, ozTOPO maps are superior, by far!
Perhaps someone might just upload it, fingers crossed.

Are you saying that Garmin won't do a Topo no more!?!
G'day,
I'm just saying, "if it sounds,looks,waddles like a DUCK, let's call it a DUCK" (Don't Understand Corporate Knowledge management!!!???!!!)
Though, the following discussion may be of some concern to hikers (probably NOT to Bush Bashers!?!)

Set Track to Map Elevation
I have recently purchased OZtopo V6 after using Garmin Topo Aust & NZ V3 for many years. I changed due to the fact that with Garmin Topo Maps you are not able to print a hard copy map form Basecamp if your maps are bought as a SD card or downloaded. However, most of my tracks I follow are hand drawn on Basecamp and followed using a map and compass and/or GPS.
Once a track is created on Basecamp there is an option in the information window, that shows individual trackpoints, to "Set Track to Map Elevation". This is Greyed out and not usable with OZtopo but works with Gamin Topo Maps. When hiking tracks it is important to know elevation profiles to accurately plan trips. I only use Apple Mac computers
Is this only an issue on Mac computers? Is there a reason this function is not available?
ThanksGPSoz
No not an issue with MAC. Its due to the fact that OZtopo does not include DEM (digital elevation model) data. Its something that been on our investigation list, admittedly low down. We currently working on other features at the moment, eg improve autorouting, adding Marine features for other states, improving road data. But we'll take a look at it,
thanks for the feedback
cheers

G'day,
I read the following on the AUStech Forum
So reading between the lines............
"the HERE maps (the ones now supplied by GARmin) now provide better coverage for dirt roads and off road areas"
Might mean GARmin is focusing on the HERE maps and not on the TOPO maps any more.
What about the contour lines? (I hear you ask) I'm using the ones from ozTOPO v3.

Sensis still beats HERE for up to date details!!!
I use Contours Australia 5m, YES five metres! It still beats topo as you have the same info just not the shadings.
I got the CD after searching for it on the web for months, then there it was.
I'm sure I have posted the links here but can't find them...
Here is what I have on hand:
