Online detailed maps or images??

[gatley1]

Does anyone know where i could find either a map, or even an aerial photo of an area between brisbane and the gold coast?

 

I want to use it to overlay tracks on, but also to record where my geocaches are.

Not really what you are after, but I scanned in a free RACQ map, and then calibrated it in Garmap2 on a couple of places I had been to. A bit hit and miss until I got it right. Good enough to give me a fair idea of where caches are.

QLD main roads web site have PDF maps available for download, may not be at a scale that you are after tho.

Sorry for replying this late. Australia is far away for me

 

With CacheMaps you can load AreaMaps from the internet for any region in the world. It uses MapBlast maps for this.

On these AreaMaps you can see all caches in that area from the list of caches you loaded.

I tried Brisbane and it worked fine.

 

The way to do it:

- install CacheMaps

- load a cache located in Brisbane (using the geocaching.loc file from gc.com)

- select a new AreaMap for a wide area around the cache

- double click a point on the map that you want as the center of you final AreaMap

- select a new AreaMap with the proper width

- all caches in your list will be shown on the map after you loaded them.

 

You can load loc files and/or gpx files into CacheMaps

You can retreive online maps (I don't know what mapservers support Australia)

You can load cache waypoints into other applications like OziExplorer, EasyGPS etc.

You can ... (see my site for a complete description.

 

I hope this is helpfull to you.
