Not sure how you would use them in practice.
Are you or how are you locating a position on the map?
Overlaying a decimal Lat long or MGR somehow?
Yes I know theres a tool for when you are on the computer, its a point locator decimal Lat Long.
There are features not available on Safari. Am I missing something?
How are you customising?
It is impressively fast compared to the old SIX system.WarrenH wrote:Six Maps functions just like SIX Lite and is faster than the old NSW GPS Portal. I'm aufait with the tools with them being similar to Six Lite.
One more issue is what it shows. For example, the names of Pocket Hut and Bill Jones Hut in KNP are shown, but the nearby Oldfields Hut is not. Where there is a name, there is no indication of the exact location of the hut until you zoom right in. If you know where Oldfields is, you can actually find a square by zooming in. Some of the foot tracks also only appear when you are zoomed right in.There is one issue with Six Maps, that I spotted instantly, which Six Lite details better, that's SIX Maps (perhaps because it is still in the Beta stage?) does not indicate the qualities of the wild roads well. It caters for the roads more like how Garmin's V3 topos are dumbed down.
Is it (nswtopo) working at present? I get this:galah wrote:I have this running on a linux box, allowing me to build a few maps for oziexplorer. Thanks Matthew.

I have version 0.6.3, downloaded on 5 November. As far as I can see, this is the latest version.mountainhigh wrote:davidmorr wrote:Before I started, I checked that I had the latest version of the script from the Github repository.
Just the other day, I was using the SIX viewer on the LPI site, and one section of the topo map came up with "data unavailable" instead of the map. Curiously enough, when I zoomed in or out, that data was there. All resolutions appear to be there again today. So perhaps certain resolutions of the maps are unavailable at different times.brian_p wrote:The BAD news is that the data availability is sporadic, I haven't been able to figure out why (yet) but is appears that for a day or so selected data is "unavailable" which results in blank images being produced. On other days perfect. Availability seems to have no relationship with the location, extent, time-of-day, day-of-week... So far it appears totally random, but probably not. I'm very interested to hear from others especially if they've found the magic key

Mine will download and assemble the raster layers - eg aerial photos, but I don't seem to get anything for the vector layers. All I get for topographic at the end of the process is a 1KB SVG file called topographic.svg. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get, but would have expected to get some tiles for each of the underlying layers that are supposed to make up topographic.
