If you are worried about designated boundries being clearly defined it's a nobrainer that AI generated maps aren't going to be trustworthy accurate.


As above, titles are definitively defined... its the label of the land... I'm not overly concerned about the location myself, I usually keep well away from boundaries and GPS lets me know where I am... But in Vic the difference between keeping in the SF and 'stepping' into the SP or NP, is significant from a lawful/firearm perspective, and you shouldnt expect the Rangers or Police to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Plus Google Maps is really about roads for driving, not forests for off-roading.

A block of forest is just a block of forest to them, even if there are boundaries through it separating state forest and national park designations.

If they have the roads surrounding a forest I reckon they'd say that's job done.

Maybe SSAA could spend some of out membership fees on doing accurate maps for us...

Desperate for a post count increase Skitz? C'mon man stop reviving dead threads, this one died in Nov 2015...
It'll shoot the fleas off a dog's back at five hundred yards, Tannen, and it's pointed straight at your head!
