Another one of those " I can't be stuffed spending 30 seconds defining what I want, so you can collectively spend hours second guessing" thread.
I suggest ignoring the thread unless the OP can be bothered defining what he really wants.
Look at similar threads in the past. Dozens of thoughtful posts, with some people investing 15 mins or more on thoughtful answers which attempt to guess the solution, only to find that the OP didn't fully explain what they want and the time was wasted.
Oh and 9 times out of 10 the OP throws these out there, starts a flurry of responses, then the OP is never heard from again.

...And if the OP REALLY wanted to invest some time in the subject, search will reveal hundreds of similar requests and hours of reading with multiple valuable responses.

And if Bill is new to forums, as we all were once, he will quietly disappear now that you have insulted him. I wouldn't blame him either. This is also directed at those who like your unkind response BB. Sorry guys but you could have done it in a more polite and social way.

But Phil, he didn't even state what colour he wanted.

Blue for boys and pink for girls.
Well, that's how it used to be.
Are you confused?

Are we still allowed to say "boys" or "girls" ? Never know which part of society you're likely to upset.

well, most of you anyway)

Yes we do need to baby adults in basic life skills.
It's society's responsibility now.
My bad.

G'day Bill
Hema HN7 would be a good place to go. Hema supply their entire map catalogue, and a version of Oziexplorer.
The navigator section is also very useful, and pre-loaded with Camps Australia, as
well as POI and required info such as Police, Medical, Shopping, Fuel and more importantly, coffee shops.
It's not cheap, but if it does what you want, it's not expensive either.
The generic GPS units that are navigator only, altho these days in some cases having the tracks listed, have no other information that is useful when fighting off drop bears, and don't give tou the option of pre planning your trips.
Cheers
Laurie
