I am a NZMapped User quote:Originally posted by BigNick:Can NZMapped import a list of waypoints in WGS84 format (the website says Northing and Easting, implying NZGD49, is this the case?) Yes It can, not sure how you would import NZGD49 though...despite what the website says... quote:Originally posted by BigNick:I am planning on changing from TUMONZ and was wondering if anyone used both TopoMapPro and NZMapped and can comment as to whether the extra money for TopoMapPro is worth it? I have only tried the demo of TopoMapPro and couldn't see any huge advantages except the large scale maps and the ability to add orthophotos. quote:Originally posted by BigNick:By the looks of it, neither will let you upload tracklogs which is a pity. Yes, this is annoying. quote:Originally posted by BigNick:I have seen TopoMapPro running on a laptop being used for moving map display - has anyone done this with NZMapped and can comment? Yes this works, have tried it in a very limited test. Didn't have any problems. quote:Originally posted by BigNick:The final question is about zoom - TopoMapPro has all the different maps scanned 1:50000 1:250000 etc I can't tell if this is the case with NZMapped - can you zoom out (eg to see a map of NZ like on Buxley’s geocaching page?) You can zoom out to cover large portions of NZ, but because it only has 1:50000 scanned maps it doesn't end up very practical. It slows down to a crawl and the resulting image isn't that usable. This has never really been a problem for me though as I haven't needed to zoom right out and the larger scale maps are available online for free anyway.

Aussie Travel Bugs The Aussies must have the same contacts at Groundspeak, that they have used at the IRB.

If you can wait another couple of weeks, I should be able to help you out with this cache.

Yeah I saw gazzanic's post a couple of weeks ago (re divespot) and was hoping the soon to be arc/gis legend would be on to it . I have been so busy with minutewar recently that I haven't had a chance to investigate further quote:Originally posted by GavNow I just have to look at building a database of geocaches etc so they can be easily imported into it and overlaid on the maps. Could be a very useful tool! ... and maybe even getting Nick to export minutewar flags for import

Good stuff Gav! I didn't think it would take you long to find a way for the mass's to use www.geographynetwork.co.nz for geocaching. I'm downloading now

Looks like Polymedia have got some New Zealand Mapped Specialty Submaps planned including street maps, aviation charts and marine charts. Hopefully they won't be to expensive.

$66 Like rediguana I'll need some time to digest the pro's and con's. I definately can't be critical of Jeremy for wanting to charge for the site, just would have liked to see the charge a bit smaller. I'm not sure what's wrong with banner ad's if they are kept small and don't pop up. It's not that different to a newspaper or magazine.
