Planning to travel the
Anne Beadell Highway. Can someone tell me if a GPS is needed for this route?

Jenlen,
It depends entirely on your level of navigation confidence.
A GPS is a modern way of navigating, but it is almost just as accurate to navigate with a scale ruler, paper map and your odometer (or sextant).
I've looked at that trip, and have done sections of it - I reckon I could do it entirely from memory if someone bet me enough....
So in answer to your question - NO, but ensure that your navigation competance is high if your choose this option.
Cheers
Alan

Hi,
Very
well sign posted, and very easy to see main track from any side tracks. I prefer using one personally, it helps if something happens and you need to find another way out or let someone know your exact position.
Whichever way you decide, go and enjoy, a great track.
