What Is
Contours
Australia?
Contours Australia is set of FREE
transparent 5m
contour
maps that cover all of Australia only for the Garmin Mapping GPS.
As the maps are just contour lines they are to be used with
other
products like City Navigator, Metroguide,
Shonky Maps,
Open
Street Map
or any other Australian Garmin formatted maps to
turn them into topo like maps on the GPS. The mapset is just
over 2GB in
size
and there is 668 maps in the set. Partial areas can be loaded.
Contours are shown at 5 meter intervals at 120m or below on
the
GPS. 200m to 300m are at 10m intervals. 500m to
1.2km are
at 50m intervals and 2km zoom contours are at 100m intervals when the
GPS detail level is set normal.
Set your GPS detail to Most and you will see the 5m contours out to the
1.2km zoom. In Mapsource you will see the Australian coast
line,
state borders and town/city points. These are only shown in
Mapsource and not transfered to the GPS.

As these maps are unofficial Garmin
maps,
you will not get any support from Garmin Australia. To date
no one has had
any
problems using them on their computer or GPS. If they do
break
your computer, software or GPS then it is your problem and you have
been warned.
