Can anyone recommend maps with the good coverage of the area and
also digital maps availability for use with OziExplorer.
I got Hema High Country - Victoria map but would like something more detailed.
Thanks,
Stan

Stan,
Have a look at the Rooftop maps most of these are 1:30,000 scale and come in paper and digital.

David. Unless there is a new map out covering the upper Murray region I don't believe there is a Rooftop map of the area. Pity as they currently have the best detail in the high country. The closest covers as far east as
Omeo. (Bairnsdale -
Dargo -
Omeo Adventure Map) The majority of their touring maps are actually at 1:100K or 1:50K with a few detailed inserts at 1:30K.
Unfortunately the only reliable maps I've seen of the area are the 1:25K Vic Map series which one needs a heap of sheets to cover it all. Back to my old inch to the mile set :-)
Cheers Craig...........

No worries Stan - Cannot profess to be an expert on Vic locations - Just thought these may cover it. BTW: If you find a product that does please let us know and we will investigate adding it to the system. Take care and have a merry christmas.

Stan,
I generally use proper topographic maps which you can buy from any camping store.
I did use the Hema High Country map last year and found it to be unreliable, tracks shown where there were none and track which were there but not marked on the map.
I had purchased the Hema map because I was driving from
Tom Groggin through to
Mansfield and did not particularly want to carry too many maps (topo maps for the area are generally 1:25 000). However, found that I was constantly frustrated with the information (tracks) on the Hema maps.
This was surprising as I have used Hema maps in the past and found them to be fairly reliable but was surprised at the number of discrepancies in their High Country Map.
