Maps & Books

Hi

I have heard about a few books with trips and tracks for 4wds that grade them from easy to hard.

After searching around I came up with these 2.
Does anyone own these and are they any good?

A little off topic but ....

I have been using this one of late and find it pretty good..... I found it after the "travelmate" site went offline for a few days .

http://services.land.vic.gov.au/landcha ... ractivemap

Fairly good detail from an "online" site although a tad slow ( dial up ) but for the "finer"details I was impressed.

I forgot to add ....
on the above link, Just below the "search" button ( upper left cnr)
there are 5 choices of the map type.....
for good detail use the "Lot On Plan" button
on the actual map you can select an area by holding the right click down and then draging the pointer to whereever, this creates a square that is automatically enlarged..... just keep repeating the process !!!

I actually "found" my own home lot from this and it even showed the creek which isnt on "normal" maps.

couple of examples below.....

The one of "Kinglake" I was acutally able to get down to the individual lots !

I've used 4wd treks close to Melbourne and find the ratings pretty accurate for a stock vehicle. The background info is also good on the places your are visiting makes it a bit more interesting knowing the history.

I have just ordered that from the online Collins Book store :lol:

That Landchannel site is awesome, found my house.

But does not help with tracks and what they are like.
