The Hema Navigator has an excellent range of "bush maps" but is not cheap, it is however excellent value for money when you look at what you get. see http://www.hemanavigator.com.au/

And the Hema Navigator is available through the EO Shop.

The Shop will match prices you find elsewhere so once you do the research, there's no reason to stop you coming back to EO to make the purchase.

If the Hema Navigator is out of your price range, get a Garmin Nuvi 1490T ~$300-350 and add FREE Shonkymaps on a micro SD card. Shonkymaps will fit on a 256mb card - so don't even need a large capacity card.

This will give you very good street navigating as well as a full topo of Australia on a much less expensive unit.

Easy to switch from one mapset to the other.

"shonky on nuvi 3790T"

Start a new thread and provide as much detail on procedure you followed so far. Hiding it in here will limit responses.
