Hello
Just a note to clarify some misinformation posted in previous thread that has now been archived.
The thread 52242 by Kiwi & "Mahindra" requesting information on maps for Magellan Explorist 500 and specific question “how good is that Great Desert Tracks” received the following direct response…
“Don't even think about trying to add Great Desert Maps to your GPS , For Computer use only”
In the interest of those who may wish to know the truth, the following Myth Busting information is provided – Hemas “Great Desert Tracks” has been available in Magellan GPS format for many years. Most current edition (released mid last year) is available on SD card and is called DiscoverAus Outback Tourer, though if you can get hold of the older GDT version on CD it will still work with your eXplorist.
Details on latest version here

I can't comment on how good or bad it is as have never seen or used it, though I can say previous GDT version had less tracks shown than DAST (though maybe some on DAST longer existed!!). Maybe some others can provide some
feedback.
Cheers
Greg
