Sambar 9.3 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Hi all Quick question regarding my new Gps, it dont have any maps preloaded so what sorta map do i need to buy for hunting?? Ive had a look around and I found one called "Australia & New Zealand TOPO MicroSD Map Card for Garmin'' Is that the one i need?? PS: What version? Now ive seen one and its marked as a version 3? Cheers Edited October 24, 2012 by Sambar 9.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I use either "shonkymaps" ot the Garmin topo, both are OK. The shonky maps are a free download so for the money can't be beat, google them worth a look. Cheers, Waldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncs Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Go with Shonky Maps. I know the name doesn't inspire confidence but they're great and also free!http://shonkylogic.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambar 9.3 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks fellas, Just had a look at the shonkymaps, the question is how do i install them? and there is 4 sets of maps? Large-scale overview maps of Australia, Detailed maps of Austrlia and there are 2 more. Which one do i need? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncs Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 There are instructions there somewhere and they worked for me (twice after I lost my first GPS in the bush somewhere). Given they're free, just have a play! It was a long time ago that I did it but the maps I chose were the right ones first go so you can probably trust your best guess. If unsure, check the info on a paper map to help make your guesses. If you still have probs, let us know and I'll have a proper look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltonaHunter Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ive tried shonky and the garmin topo and the garmin have alot more terrain info and alot of tracks that shonky doesnt show. You can get the garmin maps off ebay really cheap but are they legit, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
