EOTopo

EOTopo is an enhanced topographic map of Australia. It incorporates street, road & track data with topographic detail & POI labelling for populated localities & campsites. The EOTopo mapset is a digital project managed by I.T. Beyond Pty Ltd. The mapset is available for purchase and download for exclusive use in the ExplorOz Traveller app.

Description

The EOTopo 2023 map set is built using the vector map format. This format produces high quality, high resolution maps that you can zoom and enlarge and they never get blurry. Without getting too technical the vector format also enables us to deliver a lot more detail into the maps without making the maps too large to store on your device. Our maps offer zoom/enlargement that is unmatched by any other digital map of Australia. Compare our maps that offer full high resolution zooming with a map scale of up to 2K, with other non-vector maps that not not offer any additional detail when enlarged, such as Hema's raster map packs most of which contain old and outdated content and only offer a scale of 250K. So map accuracy, detail and scale is the first big difference that sets our maps apart from the every other map.

Another common problem with other maps such as Google maps, WikiCamps and OSM derivates is that they show a mostly white/plain background with no detail or road definitions in regional & outback Australia until you zoom in so close that it becomes unclear and disorientating. EOTopo maps are not like that. We build our maps knowing that people need to see minor tracks at low zoom levels so you will find our maps are clearer & easier to use when you are sitting in your vehicle travelling or using on a small screen like a phone. For example, you can keep the map at a sensible zoom to see the wider area whilst still seeing the road detail. Furthermore, our maps offer 10m contours, which is ideal for hikers, plus lots of terrain and hill shading and lots of useful features such as man-made infrastructure (power lines, conveyor belts, pipelines, silos) and natural landforms and labelling such as roads with special access conditions and our topography data also means you can see the flow direction of creeks, see the exact lineage of sand dunes and their avg height and much more. All these features make EOTopo 2023 the one map that you can't be without.

But don't just take our word for it, check it out yourself on this webpage where you can preview the map data yourself before purchase. See below.

The Traveller app is a one-time purchase - the app is the software and navigation program and has all the necessary tools and content but not the high resolution offline mapset - this is sold separately.

The app is designed with the intention that you would need to purchase EOTopo but only for offline use. The Traveller app already has the latest EOTopo maps included for ONLINE use.

We sell the high resolution offline maps separately so people with multiple platforms only need 1 map licence per user. This also means that when NEW maps are produced (such as the 2023 edition) that you can choose if and when you want these and only pay for the map licence instead of buying a whole new App and Map bundle.

The ExplorOz Traveller app requires you to login, to access the available downloads to setup the device with offline content - the login recognises your map licence and permits downloading of the full set of map packs to that device. The EOTopo licence that you buy permits download of the specific map packs that are released in that edition only. For example, if you have a 2021 licence you cannot access the HiRes downloads for the 2023 map packs unless you purchase the 2023 licence.

How to Buy EOTopo
