VIC and SA hydro now show non-perennial water bodies as hatched, rather than solid blue.

I play with making my own maps in QGIS, what do use to make the Garmin imgs?

Unfortunately I don't pay a lot of attention to the SA map. When I looked I noticed that the wide, dry river beds were rendered solid blue. Yes it is laughable. I've just uploaded a new version that renders them as brown dots.
Also for SA, I noticed that the contours data that I used only covers the 1:50k map area. No contours are shown outside this area.

Will copy a new version up tomorrow sometime.

I'm afraid it's quite a massive project. The data has to be downloaded LGA by LGA. There are ~130 of them and you can only download 5 per day. It would probably be about 13Gb of data. I did enquire about getting the whole state, but the cost was > $1,000. Sorry, but I don't do much walking in NSW.
