GPS/ Mapping software list compiling.

If it's the VicMap 25k topo for MemoryMap, the file is about 2GB in size and you have to go through a rabbit warren of pages to find the link to the complete file.

Yeah it wasn't from memory. It was around 400kb. It did state it was 25k though. So obviously not the full package then? Im assuming if I pay for the licence it will open up to the full download.

Yes BUT the Memory Map people seem to want everyone to download it in sections at a time as you scan over various parts of the map and it's forkin tedious. It also only ever seems to want to cache max 500MB if you download the sections which is annoying.....
Much quicker and more useful (eventually) to go in search of the complete download link and dump all 2GB in there.

Are you talking about the very basic map that is included with Memory Map? Sometimes that can come in handy but my iPad does not have any net connection so the only place I can download maps is from home which is no good. I would love to download the whole thing?

Hmm I look again when I get home. I downloaded six from memory different files. The topo vic map was around 400mb. I think. Plus it did say I can use it for ten days trial period.

So. Wheres this 2Gb size map your talking about? Or where you referring to the entire Aus map packages?

Edit : I think I get it. Reading the pdf for about the 40th time...Slowly sinking in.

This shite does my head in. Why don't they just say, here its $$$ for the all maps to get now. Not bit by bit download...
If I'm getting it right, Its best to download the pc version too and download the maps that way and then transfer across to the tablet???

Dunno. Maybe their server is rubbish and couldn't cope with the bandwidth....it's quite slow to download so I suspect that might be the case.

I've got the pc version on and its filling in map content and the VicEast QC3 file is growing in file size. So I assume when its done I can grab the QC3 file and transfer it to my tablet and it will work? Now the pc version is registered under a different name to the tablet. The files should transfer over though...
