Hi all
I have recently purchased an Explorist 600 GPS (advertised here)
Nice unit, and very suitable suitable for my hunting, as it's waterproof, as
well.
I has Aus Streets and topo, on SD, (Maps are real good there too)
I thought you beauty, great for the Canning and the
Kimberley's..
WRONG.
It appears that
the Desert Tracks have been taken out, and I have to purchase another SD card, to help navigate my way through.
Funny thing is that my little Etrek Legend, (which I now have to thump, to get going) has all the tracks on it.
Can anyone out there Help ?
Cheers
Bucky

sorry I bought my explorist. the previous 315 was better. Had issues with cable, toggle, moisture ingress, software going loopy (turn off and restart all the time) the price of software is bull. Having trouble now getting it to charge.
In future I will print the maps I need from natmap and use a simple gps. Maybe a gps mouse as
well for the laptop but the laptop can be a bit heavy for the missus too. Good for a reference but when I am bushwhacked.
The street map type garmin I use to find the garage sales is very useful for all the onroad and gazetted tracks which covers most of my needs. I like to see what is in the vicinity though and the natmaps are good for that.
