Hema Maps are doing $24 for the explorer app. Not sure if the reviews are that flattering though.

I got it and think it will be handy.  Only basic mapping but the ability to download and save satellite images (in mobile/wifi coverage) sounds great.  Will be testing it tomorrow.

I ran mine on an iPad from Silverton to Tibooburra with a diversion from Milparinka to Pooles grave and Mt Poole Historic Cairn on day one of full use.

Second day from Tibooburra to Innamincka via Warri Gate, Santos Station, Epsilon Station to Della and then via the Srezlecki.

It worked perfectly and showed where I was all the time.

Used it again all the way to St George via The Dig Tree, Noccundra, Thargomindah and Yowah with numerous off main track excursions and it was excellent imo.

The only errors I have found seem to be around built up areas, Port Elliott caravan park in SA being an example where it is shown on the wrong side of the road and too far west.

For the price it is great, just download all the associated free maps on wifi and you are good to go.

Impressed big time.  The ability to download satellite images before heading off was really great.  No way would I have found the tracks I did if I was just relying on topo maps.  Mates kept asking where I was taking them but we were never lost.  @ $25, highly recommend for just this feature.

With 185k km on it is like new but it is a petrol! thirsty!
I sold my diesel 1988 Troopy 6 years ago for $7700. It had 330k Kms, bullbar, roof rack twin wheel carriers, twin tanks and was in pretty good nick.  I just don't get where they get the $23k price tag from.

"Sorry boss, she's had not interest and it's been here for weeks. I'll give you trade plus 5% just to get it off the lot" ??? Something like that? Yard manager walks (drives) away with a bargain.

the market I've seen for these is the European Backpackers. They buy them SH, drive them around Oz for 6 to 12 months, then sell them back before they fly home.
