Hi Folks,
Just gone through the harrowing process of getting my R licence to hunt on public land in NSW through dpi.nsw.gov.au. Does anyone know if u can use your iPhone to GPS navigate as it is a requirement now (as well as UN weapons inspector!). What App if it exists is available as Im am hoping to avoid buying a standalone GPS navigation unit at this stage.
Help appreciated.

Avenza is good but you have to pay if you want more than 3 maps saved on it- you can also view maps on Goggle Earth app.

I use Avenza and have it on my IPad and iPhone. Yes you do pay for maps, but you pay a lot less than it costs to get a paper topographic map. I am a big fan of Avenza. I do a bit of spotlighting and mount my iPad on my windscreen. The ability to record your track is great when spotlighting as it is very easy to get disoriented at night. Plus with Avenza there are also free maps that can be downloaded as well.

Agree , Avenza is very good, superimposing the maps over Goggle earth does give a good idea of the actual topography and vegetation . I just put both on and depending on what im up to flick back and forth. I do also keep a handheld GPS as a backup in my pack.
