Hi
I have downloaded Backcountry Navigator to my phone and to my android tablet. On the Phone I have the paid version, on the tablet the free version. In both cases when I downloaded it I selected NZ Top Maps. In both cases I have found that some topo map detail is downloaded to the device and works off the internet but most detail is not downloaded. It seems to be very difficult to work ouk what has been downloaded and what has not been downloaded. I am particuallry interested in the topo maps for the Marlborough Sounds and the Wellington area
I see that there are sites like MapToaster who will provide you with NZ Topo Maps for $100-$200. There's also another site with a similar charging policy. Then there is LINZ who appear to charge nothing.
What I would like to do is download all the NZ topo maps so that I can use them offline easily. Failing that I would like to at least easily know which maps are downloaded and which are not.
I am very confused. Could somebody explain or point me to an explanation of
1. Why cannot I download all the topo maps from the free sites?
2. Should I purchase the Maptoaster set and be done with it?
If I have a complete set of maps, can I get BackCountry Navigator to use them or do I need some other software? I quite like the look and feel of BackCountry Navigatori
