More than once a rogue GPS decision has directed my vehicle down an Australian road only an experienced 4WD group should attempt. The significance grows when you’re 300km from the nearest settlement.

It’s a big country, and mostly empty.

Gut feeling - Google Maps and HERE Maps know that. You could send the route to those maps. Red globe in right top corner of the map.

But here come their restrictions. Google Maps don't route many waypoints. HERE WeGo don't know places names, often around Alice Springs.
