The thrill of water crossings are at the heart of any good 4WD offroad adventure, but half the satisfaction comes from making it to the other side. There’s a bit of an art in successfully crossing a river or a creek and it often comes down to two aspects, knowledge and judgement, especially when every crossing is different. We’re here to offer a few tips for the next time you face a flooded crossing.

Vic high country map pack
Really enjoying the map pack . Combined it with 4wd treks of the high country , so now studying them both and cross referencing them . Will get more maps as required . Can't leave home with out them. Fast postage as well. Thank you.

Upgraded Hema Truckies Atlas
Had version 5 which we found to be very useful however it was getting dilapidated so decided to upgrade to the latest version (7). Ordered on line and it was delivered from interstate in very good time. Very pleased with the Atlas and prompt delivery.

Taiwan is a Country
Taiwan is not a Chinese province. It is not apart of China. The Chinese Communist Party does not own Taiwan (although they like to think they do). Please add the Taiwanese flag to the map and classify Taiwan as a Country, because it is.

Great bit of gear!
Only just got this unit but it was easy to set up, love the way it mounts via the magnetic charging port. Can’t wait to get out and use it to its capacity.

Bought the new 290 x 385 format of the road and 4wd atlas. Clear and easy to read. Makes forward planning a breeze. Great additional info. Love the spiral binding. Only suggestion I would make is that a hard cover would make for easier handling of the larger size edition. Only a thought. Overall extremely happy.

The Nullarbor West and East maps are great, but why aren’t the made on water proof paper? I have used my West Nullarbor Map half a dozen times and the intersecting folds are already tearing. I think that all your maps should be made on water proof paper. Just my thoughts. Please keep up the great work.
Thanks.
