If you have a 3G phone Winnie then you can connect to it via Bluetooth and use the GPS receiver from your phone. You can also get a Bluetooth HPS antenna but you end up having to power bloody everything mate.

the unit AB is referring to is made by Bad Elf, good little units.
If you are looking at not importing maps then I believe the MUDMaps are definetly the better set up and has heaps of maps included plus extras in app purchases. To include your own maps, go with HEMA / Memory Maps.
MUDMaps far out weighs HEMA in updates as they are fairly regular unlike HEMA every few years and they have an expectation that after a "few updates" - users are "required to re-purchase" the app so it is upto date, MUDMaps do not place that expection on on users, the only on-going cost to user's is if you purchase the basic $3 version and subscribe for turn-by-turn etc of when you wish to purchase further maps.
So far I have all the maps that HEMA offer on MUDMaps and get turn by turn etc. It would be good if / when MUDMaps allow 3rd party maps but I have no idea if it will ever be on the cards to be incorporated.
I forget which member tried to pm MUDMaps here but if they wanted to send me a pm, I will try help out where I can or I will get in contact with Li or Tom for them.

A fellow I went through the Simpson with last year had an Ipad in his Rig.
Can't remember what program he used, but I am sure it was a download.
The background was the exact map, including the tracks, keys, signs etc and everything you should get when heading there.
The pointer moved as a normal GPS does.
Although it didn't give you distance from and to, it had lots of other information and GREAT detail I have not seem on another GPS system.
Although I only briefly looked at a Hema once several years ago.

I have a blue tooth GPS unit, garmen I think it is. It needs a 12v power supply but also have the ability to take batteries and be independent. Bought it for $40 but was more an impulse buy. Pm if your interested for that price.

See now I'm torn! Damn!
drew and OD your both solid. I am leaning towards Hema but i predict a whole "do you want fries with that" kind of experience coming??? Forever buying upgrades and new maps?
so Drew you spent $150 for the App, another $50 to "unlock it" so you can upload maps? Then pay per map to upload and bought their bundle of maps? Is that right? How much was the bundle? It looks like another $150? Hema maps are crisp and sharp to view which I like.
And OD Mudmaps run a different map? Is it nice and sharp? Wll I be able to upload new maps in the future do you think? I am looking for Rooftop quality maps in detail and crispness when zoomed in? Will I get that?
Anyone got Rooftop maps on an iPad!

Hema on the Ipad -iOS6
With a lot of my driving being in the high country, none of the maps that come with either Hema or MudMaps are to the level of detail I want. Both are missing tracks I know are there and have driven so I wanted to be able to import the maps I trusted.
Personally, I thought the included maps with the Hema app were better than those with MudMaps. The AusToppo (MudMaps) is ok for navigation, but terrible for planning in my opinion because its a PITA to zoom out and scan ahead.......maybe I haven't worked out how best to do it.......
It's a bit of a shame you can't try before you buy to see which you prefer 'cause I reckon it's a bit like tyres.....different strokes for different folks......
If you're up Essendon way some time, you can drop in and I'll show you both on the iPad.
I'm in Geelong sometimes (got a major client down there) but not for another couple of weeks.

Hema on the Ipad -iOS6
I'm in the process of putting all my rooftops maps on iPad. I've done about 4 so far.
My outlay on the Hema was $129 for the app, with ALL the available Hema maps included.....no need to download any more.
I then paid another $50 to be able to import my own maps. I wanted this because even though the Hema maps are ok for the high country, like you I think the Rooftops ones are the best as they have the track notes and historical stuff included.
I don't anticipate needing any other maps or updates for quite a while. If I want a specific detailed map for a new area, say the Grampians, my plan is to buy the paper one I like and scan it in and calibrate.....I always like to keep the paper with me as a backup.
There are also lots of Oziexplorer maps that could be imported too.
That is the biggest limitation of the MudMap app, the lack of import ability...

One more thing, MudMap uses the Gregory's maps for their touring maps against the Hema maps. I reckon it's a no contest with the Hema ones being much better and easier to read.....

And no, I have no association with Hema! LOL.
Just someone who owns and who has used both.
