GeoScience Australia National Mapping - continued

The GeoScience Australian National Mapping (NATMAP Raster Mapping) and the Australian National Parks mapping database are now included with the Magellan Triton 400, 500, 1500 and 2000 series handheld GPS.

Includes all published 1:250000 scale NATMAPs of Australia
Landsat satellite images of Australia
All 514 mapsheets are joined into a seamless mosaic map.

This series covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent.

Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour.

These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. Some maps are supplemented by relief shading.

The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets.
