Hi Barry
With the latest update to WikiCamps, once you have done the update, you then have to go in and download all the maps, again it is free but will take some time.
Once they are installed, they are all there and when you want to find a place, all roads and streets are there. The more you zoom in, the more detailed the map becomes. This is one app that once you have used it, you will never go away from.
WikiCamps is a very good tool to use and you will find that people that are travelling on the road, this is their. No 1 tool for choosing a
camp, weather it be
free camp or caravan park, or
point of interest.
It is the trusted no 1 tool worldwide, and you get to see people’s thoughts and
views of the thousands of
places to visit around Australia.
Cheers
Stephen

I agree Stephen, It's our bible when we are away, Comments, pics, and prices that mostly determines if you drive in or drive past. I always do a quick update of the states to get the latest information before a trip. For $7.00 its a bargain. Michael

In the scheme of phone apps it's not difficult to use if you are a regular smart phone user. All the content can be downloaded for offline use. Not sure why you can't see roads you do have to choose which mapping app to use with Wikicamps, most people would choose Google Maps when connected to the internet. For help, take a look at
Wikicamps help, extract copied below:
How do I download user content for offline use?
Open the
home menu by tapping the
orange menu button in the top right corner of the screen, then select 'Site Content' from the Offline Content box. Turn on the states you want content for then tap the sync button. Site content downloads user reviews, prices, and photo thumbnails.
How do I download the offline map?
Open the
home menu by tapping the
orange menu button in the top right corner of the screen, then select 'Offline Maps' from the Offline Content box. Touch the download button on the state you want to download. Once it is done you can switch to offline maps by tapping the map layers button in the top right corner of the map, then select the Offline Map layer.
Cheers
Warren

Thanks for the explanation. I had it going out bush recently and was annoyed to see no roads were marked and wondered why. It's a good app, but like most of them, makes no sense to some of us!
