Most GPS units have built in maps. Users of these units need to go back to the manufacturer for additional maps or updates. However, there is such a thing as a palm top computer running Windows and equipped with GPS. (This product seems to be a bit hard to find.) With the use of specialist software such as OziExplorer a scanned image of a paper map can be used as the map displayed on the screen. This image becomes the basis for GPS navigation. It is tricky to set up and this site does not offer any technical advice about how to do this. So why bother describing any of this?

It's the copyright issue. We are aware that some GPS users may want to use our maps in this way. Yes, we are happy for this to happen so long as you do the right thing. If you have purchased a hard copy of the map, you can format shift to a digital image by scanning the maps for your own personal use. If you purchase the map then you are permitted to format shift to digital image. If somebody asks you for your scanned image, make sure that they have purchased a copy of the map first.
