[OZAPRS] Maps (slightly off topic)

[Dave Walmsley]

Guys,

I've come across http://www.street-directory.com.au. Seems to be some 'free' 
Australian mapping. Anyone have info about the API?

I've found that at least you can use
http://www.street-directory.com.au/sd_new/genmap.cgi?x=151.74743&y=-32.92078&sizex=400&sizey=400&level=5&star=5



Where

x and y are obviously long and lat, haven't determined what co-ordinate 
system.

size seems to be pixels, and going upwards just becomes pixelated

level 1 is whole state, scale 106Km

level 2 is whole state, scale 19Km

level 3, 8Km, 1:100000 maps?

level 4, 2Km, 1;25000 maps?

level 5, 300m, street level

level 6, 150m

level 7 seems to be un-implemented



star 5 is a star,

4 is the word 'clayton'

3 is a truck

2 is a transparent star

1 is a red star





they also have an address lookup, see their main page 
http://www.street-directory.com.au/sd_new/mapsearch.cgi



I wonder if this can be used for APRS tracks?



Dave
