A welcome and innovative addition to the Geoscience Australia mapping range, is
geoMAP 250K, which provides a modern digital approach to the delivery and use of maps. This new product has coverage of Australia at 1:250 000 scale in geo-referenced PDF on a single DVD-ROM.
The geo-referencing capability of
geoMAP 250K facilitates co-ordinate readout, measurement of distance and area, the import of overlay files and GPS tracking. A set of 20 000 alphabetically arranged bookmarks allows the user to quickly find locations across Australia. Alternatively, common pan and zoom tools allow navigation to a specific area. The index map includes hyperlinks which load a map when the user clicks on the map name. Moving to an adjacent map sheet is easily done by clicking on an adjoining area of the map on display.
To use the geo-reference capability of geoMAP 250K, additional software is required. This software is available for free download and links are included with the product.
