If you use Mudmap you need to carefully read the disclaimer.
The detailed maps are not google, they are based on Open Street Map which is a community contribution map in the same way as Wikipedia is a community contribution encyclopaedia.
Open Street Map has many significant fatal errors in many parts of the country that are remote and less travelled. Great for busy areas. For example it has in the order of 50 or more major errors in one small part of the high country. It is mostly un-surveyed and guess work from people at
home on their computer.
OSM has a disclaimer that it should not be used in critical situations right on the front page. Pity Mudmap doesn't repeat that warning up front, though it is hidden in their
terms of use.
I would get proper surveyed maps like Hemo, topo 250k, Vicmaps etc, Westprint, etc on Oziexplorer, Memory Map etc if I wanted a reliable map.
To top it off OSM is free unless you use it through Mudmaps.
