| ExplorOz has expanded into digital topographic map production. The EOTopo map set is now fully released with a significant number of major improvements to other available Australia-wide topo mapping products. In particular, if you've been using the GeoScience NATMAP Raster 250K product, you will definitely want to upgrade your outdated maps to EOTopo200K and enjoy the fresh new look. GeoScience are not releasing further updates and EOTopo also comes with a Lifetime Upgrade option.
In addition to the 200K single whole of Australia map file, 10M, 5M, 2.5M, & 1M scale Australia map files are also included, plus 6 separate map files for each State.
For more information see EOTopo. | Business Membership - 6 Month Trial
