As someone who came to moving map navigation via OziExplorer, just about anything else is a big let down, but I too have made peace with Memory Maps and can work quite
well with it. It comes with a free AusTopo 250K map of all of Australia but as Robert1660 says, you can buy others.
I also bought the
EOTopo 200K maps from ExplorOz which are generally better than the free AusTopo 250k on Memory Maps but you can't use the iPad version on your PC with OziExplorer as the PC and Apple versions are different licenses. This I find infuriating as it was not cheap. You can download a PC version of Memory Maps but it isn't a patch on Ozi for functionality
For your initial purposes, I wouldn't spend money on maps as the Free AusTopo is pretty much good enough.
The iPad is certainly a very elegant device for in-vehicle moving map navigation, without the absolute spaghetti of wires that PC's seem to need.
Good luck with it.
