What Is Contours Australia?

Contours Australia is set of 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, 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/Basecamp you will see the Australian coast line, state borders and town/city points.  These are only shown in Mapsource/Basecamp and not transferred to the GPS.

As these maps are unofficial Garmin maps, you will not get any support from Garmin at all.  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.
