shonkymaps online
Posted: 11 May 07 7:39 pm
<big>The infamous shonkymaps are online at last...<br><br>
I originally constucted these Garmin topo maps as a hobby project, and found them quite useful for geocaching. A few other SA cachers have also found them useful and word slowly spread beyond SA, up to the point where lately I have been sending out a couple of CDs per week to interested users interstate. And there are a lot of people owing me beer <br><br>
Apart from buying me a drink at the next event, they're free to use, although the map data copyright is owned and licensed by the federal government (Geoscience Australia). <br><br>
I don't really have time to offer support, and you download and use the data entirely at your own risk! If it works and the maps are useful then that's good. If it breaks your PC or GPS then I'm sorry, but you've been warned.<br>At a minimum you'll require a Garmin mapping GPS, a Windows PC with about 400mb free space on your C: drive, and a licensed copy of Garmin Trip&Waypoint Manager (which should have come bundled with your GPS). <small>Oh, and don't forget you'll need the cables to connect the GPS to the PC <small> (not mentioning any names )</small></small> <br><br>
Download V3.51 from here<br><br>
