Just a word of warning for those who have younger or inexperienced drivers in their family. Please get them some real maps of the country. Had to help return home an extended family member from a rollover near Ballarat. They were following Google maps which led them off the highway onto some crappy roads. It was dark and they hadn't been to Ballarat before, so just had to do as the screen showed them.
Mr Big Assed Roo decided a curve in the road was a good place to stand, thus causing the rollover. The tow driver said they would be very surprised if the vehicle wouldn't be totalled. All good, better the car than the driver. I'll be upgrading my 2 year old Melways and handing them the old one, just so they can at least check the route before trusting an electronic thingamawidgie.
