Yes indeed, the situation has been rectified. I currently have the online maps open in another tab in Firefox and (although it’s taking me a little while to get used to the idiosyncratic navigation) I think it looks like a useful tool.

So thumbs up to VicRoads for taking this seriously and getting it fixed (fairly) quickly. Hopefully future developments won’t neglect the “alternative” browsers.

I found your site Googling for the URL of the VicRoads site because I couldn’t remember it!

I refer to your e-mail of 2 January 2006 concerning the above
matter. I also refer to my response in which I indicated that VicRoads
would investigate the matter and that I would advise you of its
outcome, as soon as it was available.

The investigation has now been completed and the VicRoads on-line
interactive bicycle maps application has been modified. The testing
that we have undertaken with the browser versions that are available
to us indicates that the application can now be used with Netscape
(Mozilla/Firefox), Safari (Macs) and Opera browsers.

If you require further assistance with this matter, please dont
hesitate to contact me on tel: XXXX XXXX. Thank you for your interest
in this matter.
