DATUM POINTS

Post  goldfather on Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:59 pm

Hi Geoff, great job with the ID of mine sites and reefs. I would like to know where the datum points for some maps are located or how they can be found in ref. to GPS Degrees, Min, Sec-S. I noted that the datum info is provided for each site, Lat and Long etc and the datum #say AD29, but where is this point located or do you require another map of datum points? Question
Again thanks for the info
Regards
Goldfather

I just managed to make it (QLD Mines) work on my iPad and MacBook! It takes a while to load on my iPad but it sure does work.
Now I won't have to carry around maps anymore. Still need to find me some colour though lol!

This is a copy of file downlads from 4Share



Since 4share is now full of adds and confusing interface I have found another site to post my files. I have also included other formats that may be of more uses.

Got to the first post in this Topic to see upgrade

I have download QLD.gpx file tonight and loaded it into both garmin Mapsource and Basecamp with no problems. Did you try right clicking on the download link and use save Link as and then use Name of File (AuQldMine.GPX)and the Location you wish(eg Desktop). If this did not work send me (via PM)an Email address that I can send you a copy of the file.
