Digital Mapping

People are becoming more familiar with the benefits digital mapping software can provide with the likes of Google Earth.

Garmin provide map software for their GPS range to suit bushwalkers and adventurers which shows the finest topographic detail on your GPS screen, or other packages more suited to in-car navigation. Come in store for the run down on the best solution for you.

Other mapping software available from Alpsport is from Memory Map. This is a great tool for making route plans and printing sections of topographic map to suit your intended trip. It can save you carrying the bulk of a whole map when it is not necessary. This software is compatible with most GPS units and allows you to download waypoints from your GPS and display them in Memory Map for editing.

Apart from maps Alpsport carries a comprehensive range of books on many destinations and outdoor topics, including:

• Local and National guides for bushwalking
• International trekking guides
• Campground listings for Australia
• Rock climbing guides
• Safety and technique books for: climbing, abseiling, mountaineering and bushwalking
• Navigation and map reading guides
• Bush cooking guides and cook books
• 4WD touring guides

We also carry a range of accessories like waterproof map cases from Sea to Summit and Berghaus, Nikwax Maproof for making paper weather resistant and magnifying paper for easier map reading. Like the maps, if we do not have the book you are after we can try to get it in for you.
