I'm looking for the most detailed and accurate maps to download onto my IPad. they don't need to be topographical but I'm finding the Hema maps (on my HN7) leave a bit to be desired when it comes to detail. Many tracks are not shown whereas they are shown on other devices such as the Magellan Explorist.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Have a look at MapOut. This app covers the whole world down to the scale of
walking tracks. Just download the tiles for the areas you need. Storage for all of Australia is 750 Mb.
The size of the device also affects the amount of data displayed. I have used Hema 4WD, Hema Explorer,
ExplorOz Traveller and MapOut on an iPhone, 9.7 inch iPad and a 12.9 inch iPad Pro. The iPad Pro shows a lot more detail.

Just be aware that the mapout maps are osm, but having said that the best thing about mapout is the display , it gives a very good 3d type effect which does help with planning when you are looking for an interesting drive.

I've looked at a few apps and even paid $99 for the OZTopo App (not worth the $$ imo) and I've got to say that so far PocketEath App on ios is brilliant. I ended up paying $15 for the more detailed offline maps and they are great. I like when I can see POI icons come up on the maps as u drive through.
This may be an option but I haven't seen too many people use or know about it
