This guy here :arrow: Shonkylogic He's planning world domination. Starting with mapping software then next... who knows, game consoles maybe. Bunya and Dooghan are a bit sus too. Keep your other eye on them. :wink: Must be hitting the special blend again :roll: See trying to discredit me. There up ...

Shonkymaps Version 3.31 is now online at team unicycles website - details on page 1. <br><br> There are no differences in the maps, but setup.exe has been modified to allow the user to select an installation drive and directory (instead of forcing the use of c:shonkymaps). <br><br> If you want to ch...

Bronze are you sure you trust Firefox? I've been using it since V1.0. Must be shonky.

Bronze, would it help you to trust me if I offered you a cup of shonky tea? <br><br>

Naah, I thought not.

thanks guys. I'm also seeding from my BigPong¹ account. (Nothing like getting it from the source eh?). But Tel$tra include uploads in my quota, and it's not all that fast (only 22kbs), so appreciate the rest of you seeding this too. <br><br><small>1. yes, I know I need to find another ISP...

If you're using the Transparent Contours set, you won't need to load the Full Topo. Use the "topo without contours" set instead. This saves memory as the contours not loaded twice (and allows you to load more maps!). If you're not using any mapsets besides shonkymaps then just load the "full topo" s...

hang off for now. I'm preparing V3.30 hopefully will be ready for release in a week or two. Changes are minor unless you live in Tassie - where I've added waterfall and significant tree data.

Garmin GPS60Csx + CityNavigator maps. All up around $1000 or perhaps a touch more. Trying to use a single unit for both vehicle navigation and outdoor activities will result in a compromise. The 60Csx is great for fishing and outdoor activities, but when used in vehicle navigation mode it doesn't gi...

Have you tried Japanese Roasted Rice Green Tea? I think it's rather good, especially on a cold winters morning...

Done.. And thanks Team Unicycle and aloysius for the mirroring!

No sorry, not at this stage.

We have a 9 month old baby who soaks up most of my spare time. ... Hence I am sometimes up at 3am posting messages...

(I don't even get much time to geocache these days!)

The roads are based purely on GA data. So when they run next to a railway line you'll find they've been offset. This is done intentionally by GA so that the printed maps come out with the shapes on the correct side of each other. There is a tiny amount of additional (non GA) data included with the m...

No, and no... sorry! <br> If you need routeable maps you'll need to buy a commercial product such as CityNavigator. See Alex at Cartographics, he should be able to help.<br><br>
You'll find the shonkymaps don't have a lot of detail in the build up areas - they're much more useful out bush.

shonkymaps are now online - refer this <a href="http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=8073"> thread</a>

<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 send...
