assailant Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 thanks waza, the basemaps were preloaded so i was ok there... just getting shonky on with garmin mapsource. i didnt realise i had to select the 'tiles' to send to the device, i just presumed the entire map of australia would get sent! im going bush in a fortnight, will give it a good test.. i also spotted a geocache on a neighbouring station that i am passing through so might make a small detour to find that while im out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samburstalker Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 ive got the garmin 62s. it has topo maps australia and new zealand. well worth the money getting maps, mine came free when bought gps. it shows creeks rivers tracks driveways mines valleys where the sun is, where the hills are shady.. i like it because you can see what is around you. ie how high the hills are etc. took it to new zealand as well and the same thing, brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
