I was just saying this to a colleague. And even a GPS unit isn't much more than that nowadays too!
and a live working battery…
i always keep a melway/vicroads directory in the car - bigger maps can be better :)
I keep one in there too. The dust you'd blow off it when you do need it will be insane.
bigger maps can be better :)
My laptop screen is bigger than a Melway…
your laptop screen is bigger than an open two-page melway?
Maybe jv has this http://www.gizmag.com/go/5687/
Sorry I haven't been able to find any bigger one and not fully convinced it's bigger than an open two-page melway

Used the iphone for navigation for the first time recently. When it told me to turn left of a major highway when I knew full well it should have been right, I switched off the navigation and won't be in a hurry to use it for the purpose again.

Last time we did a land search in the mountains, we were told to use either a proper hand held GPS or Google Maps, otherwise we will be looking for more missing persons.
Don't need any of these new-fangled Melways, the first edition takes me wherever I want to go albeit with a few unexpected detours.
nice :)
You just found me my new toy to play with for the week!!!
Shipping is $8.95 to Melbourne, $13.95 to Brisvegas, to give a couple of examples
Out of curiousity, What would you do with a Melways in Brisbane?
Edit: Apart from dream of a better lifestyle in The World's Most Liveable City!!! ;)
Surely $30 is all you would normally pay? I struggle to believe it is ever $63.
Maybe WA has a lot less roads, but I'm sure the UBD here (we have UBD and streetsmart, streetsmart is terribly hard to read by comparison) is only ever $30.
I bought it one of the news shop boxes in the corner of William and Bourke for $24.95!
That's what I though it would be. Exactly like UBD in WA.
Price is more expensive than locally. At absolute best, it's standard price and still not a bargain.
Feel sorry for Melway and UBD now that most (if not all) smartphones have in built maps that works as long as it has internet connection & GPS.
