National High Resolution Mapping

Our place in East Brisbane is showing the the current roadworks approx 8mths out of date.

Rural and small town areas are slower to update the maps than city . Most mapping apps appear to have that data curve.

If it seems glitchy try the same thing on a computer that has a big graphics card , that might be your issue

can you download this map so it can be used with a handheld gps?

No it needs a network connection.

If you have something like a Panasonic Toughbook with GPS card option they will work provided you are in a network coverage area.

Some people use Motion X- HD on I-Phone or Ipad with GPS which gives multiple mapping layers but its heavy on battery consumption.

i have found a couple of phone apps (not the motion X-HD) but didn't really want to use my phone. Is there a map that you can download to be used on a handheld GPS? pretty much everywhere i go there's no internet/reception

You would have to check the specs for every handheld GPS , i think you are better off to use a device designed to store large capacity data files that also have live GPS , Android / I-Pad tablets , Toughbooks and Algiz 7 / 8 fit that bill.

The value in using the tablets is the amount of map layers that you can turn on / off.

Have you played with Google Earth when loaded with Australian Goldmine waypoints ? The waypoints can be downloaded into google earth from a post on this forum.

That can also be used on tablets or laptops and while the resolution is less than National.Maps , it is very useful for research and field mapping.
