Maps in Vicmap Viewer are free for CFA people until 8 December 2019.
VicMap is once again offering CFA members free downloads of their large scale topographic maps in their VicMap Viewer app.
Vicmap Viewer is a mobile mapping application developed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) to provide easy access to more than 10,000 state-wide digital topographic maps.
Vicmap Topographic maps depict natural and constructed features including waterways, roads, park boundaries and emergency services facilities.
These maps are available in 1:25K, 1:30K, 1:50k and 1:100K map scales, and maintained using the latest Vicmap data, Victoria’s authoritative spatial information.
Vicmap Viewer doesn’t replace Spatial Vision Map as CFA’s primary response navigation tool. It should be considered for secondary navigation and information only.
