These .map files were produced by importing the TopoView CD's using OziExplorer (File / Import Map / All DRG maps on CD). The .sdw file with each image is used to derive the map calibration. A purpose written program was then used to convert the file numbers to the real map name and the .map files renamed.

Note:

• The .map files do not contain the location of the map "neat line" (corner markers) as this information is not provided with the image in the .sdw file.
• There are 2 maps which cannot be loaded by OziExplorer - CD4 Map 8632N (Wellington) and CD5 Map 88261S (Araluen)
