[QUOTE="condor22, post: 270453, member: 1932"] The only problem with using a mobile App of any kind out bush, is if you rely on a mobile signal to download an interactive map. If you can download and save the map file that's great. I go into the VIC goldfields with an Optus smart phone and a Telstra "blue tick" mobile and even with the 9dB gain bull bar antenna, there are many places that don't get a signal on either network. FYI I was recently in Dunolly at the Van Park and although I get reception on both networks there, I recently found out that their Telstra tower being somewhat older has not yet been upgraded to 4G, I was told by some of the residents that it is still 3G. I don't know about Optus, I should have checked. Here's a link to a comparison of the Hema HN7, Hema Explorer App and the 4WD Maps Apps.
