News & Product Releases Updated: 17 - April - 2010
New 1:25K and 1:50K Vicmap Maps
New ! - Updated 2010 maps.
We have also lifted the resolution of the mapping for the ECW maps (Ozfx3 maps stay the same size as 2008 version), so if you are using a modern version of OziExplorer or OziExplorer CE on your PDA, then the level of detail and clarity should be better.
These new 1:25,000 scale maps cover the entire state of Victoria, and have been produced in 2010 from the latest data available to Vicmap. There are over 830 maps included in the 3-DVD 1:25K set and 240 maps in the 2-DVD 1:50K set, in both ECW and OziExplorer (Ozfx3) formats. All maps are in the Vicgrid94 projection, and GDA94 datum.
We have now released the UTM Zone 54/55 set , which includes 3 DVD's with maps provided in ECW, OziExplorer format. These UTM maps are appropriate for mapping systems which cannot interpret the VicGrid94 projection (Memory-Map, Fugawi etc)
Also include on the DVDs are state-wide mosaic's created as ECW files, these are quite hefty files ranging from 3.7 GB to 7.6 GB, so are not suitable for PDA use.

New Zealand Topographic Maps
MapTrax Australia are now proud to stock New Zealand's national topographic map series, with data supplied by Land Information New Zealand.
These vital maps act as the geographic inventory of NZ for public, military, planning and search and rescue purposes.
These maps are the latest 1:250K and 1:50K series that have been release by LINZ in 2009, and have been converted into ECW and Ozfx3 formats and screen resolution suitable for use with OziExplorer and other handheld mapping software.
MapTrax have also produced three Moasic maps, one each at 1:50K and 1:250K scale, covering the entire country, and a 1:50K mosaic of the Chatham Islands. These mosiacs are in ECW and Ozfx3 format.
These maps are available for $60
Sydway 2010 Edition 15 Released
We have released 2010 version of the Sydways Street Mapping
This is Sydway Edition 15
All mapping has come from the same source as the actual paper street directories.
We have updated the style of these maps from previous release, generating larger mosaic "seamless" maps in both ECW and Ozfx3 format only.
A change from previous versions at customer request, is a change to smaller mosaics, that eliminate and "black" areas from the image where no map was avalailable for the location. This will allow OziExplorer to automatically hunt for maps at other scales when you drive or fly into one of these areas.
We have as a bonus mosaiced the entire street directory into one large map for people who wish to see the entire area as one big map, we realise that this larger map may push the memory a little bit on PDA's and we would recommend running the smaller "cut-up" mosaics off of an SD or CF memory card instead.
The Sydway product includes updated name search databases for streets, suburbs and postcodes.

The new release contains over 120 maps ranging from 1:1 million scale right down to the latest 1:25,000 scale maps. All maps are in UTM projection, and are available on the DVD as ECW, JPEG with JGW, and Ozfx3, so almost any mapping software should load these maps.
