Sensis Maps AU

Gerhardp1

The Boss (SWMBO) has v10 in her RAV4 - no good for tracks and small towns or country backroads. I've seen the website with the upgrades to V13 but it's not clear about the High Country areas.

I'll watch with anticipation :-)

The best street navigation software in rural areas that includes some High Counrty tracks is any that use Navteq mapping, not Sensis Whereis v13.

2 that I know use Navteq maps are: Route 66 & Destinator PN

If you get a Garmin you will find far outback tracks on the software , right to the tip of Cape York, the SA/Vic border track, ETC

G'Day All,

May not be entirely relevant, but last year I took SWMBO's Garmin Streetpilot C310 along for our outback trip. It has the V6.0 mapping installed.

I was quite surprised how many of the outback tracks/roads were actually in the system.

Biggest surprise was it had the turn off and the entire road into the main homestead on Willow Springs Station in the Flinders, (Skytrek).

It also had Cordillo Downs Road, as well as both Birdsville and Strezlecki tracks and the turn off to Camerons Corner.

We did 2 1/2 weeks without hitting bitumen and most was mapped on the Streetpilot.

Regards

Rolande

I am running the latest version of sensis in my TomTom. Did the High Country in January and the TomTom was useless on the tracks, but did cover all the roads, towns and villages.

Navamn 520 we used around Oz trip recently was great in cities and most places there was bitumen, useless on the Savanagh way Kurumba to Katherine

Hi Mate,
You should get NavNet. It comes with City maps and with digital Hema topographical maps 2006 of all Australia. It takes you to the Vic High country or the Simpson Desert without any trouble.

I use a Magellan Platinum running DiscoverAus Streets and Tracks and it has nearly all the 4x4 tracks I've been on, it shows driveways into properties on the way home from work and it also covers a lot of the walking tracks in the Dandenong Ranges.
I've yet to see another system with as much detail.
Regards Andrew.
