G'day mate,
It use to be a free subscription for private individuals which I had taken the offer up....After that, one now has to pay big dollars for an annual subscription, cant afford it so I never bothered with it.
There was no free software that I was aware of otherwise I would have received it.
Nearmaps is sometimes better than GoogleMaps to some degree in certain circumstances.
I too would be looking for a share of nearmaps if someone can offer.
Cheers, Bondy
