So whats the best paper map book for the Simpson.

Any of our resellers on the board sell Hema maps etc

Although this one was 2008, would it still be valid?

We have this book


and we also have it electronically on the gps through oziexplorer. I love hema's maps, they are the best imho.

1:500000 isn't very detailed though. Would have thought 1:250000 would be better. But really, can't get lost in the Simpson if you stick to the track!
