I had a quick peek at Topo Australia today at a local retailer (they have 4 copies available on SD). From the looks of things it might be all I need, as you say Dooghan, as it has routable roads as well as the off-road topo details.

I doubt I would ever take my computer in the car to navigate somewhere, so it would only be for home use, and I'm not sure I would need to look the maps up...

Hi I'm a newbie and am considering purchasing either the Garmin Map60Csx or the Oregon 300 (recommendations welcome). Irrespective of which way I go I'm going to need to purchase some maps and was wondering if you could advise me as to the best way to go. I've already got an incar navigator, but was...
