GPS Map options for Australia NZ
Hi folks.
We're planning on a trip to Australia and New Zealand between March and May 2019. Unfortunately, this trips in a car, not my BMW R1200RT.
I have a North American BMW Navigator V which I'm happy with. I'm trying to figure out what my best GPS options are for a road trip between Sydney and Melbourne. Maybe Great Ocean Road. Later we'll be doing some trips in New Zealand, North Island.
On a recent trip from Seattle to Northern California along the coast and east to Lake Tahoe and back through Reno Nevada, I tried to use my IOS Maps and Google Maps on my iPhone (in a rental car with Apple Car Play and built in WIFI) and didn't find that they worked that great. Spotty cellular coverage especially in the mountains. What can I expect down under?
Am I better off with a full download of maps that will work regardless of cellular connection? Full Garmin maps seems to be about $230CAD.
For that price, I could almost buy a cheap GPS with preloaded Australian maps and throw it out when I'm done?
Thanks. John.
