WanderingAus wandered by after replacing one of my Munzees missing from the Horseshoe Bridge, heading for Perth Map Centre at 900 Hay street with the idea of replacing my Magellan Explorist 610 gpsr which has been giving me power and data no-connection grief. Having received a payout from my insurance company for the 'un-repairable' gpsr (Magellan won't touch them once the warranty runs out) the WanderingMrs suggested I needed to try another brand.

When I explained what I needed in my new gpsr to the guy at Perth Map Centre, and suggested perhaps a top-of-the-line Garmin, he advised me that 'Garmin mapping is not quite as good as the Magellan mapping you got with your Magellan Sportrak Map last century' or words to that effect. He then handed me a Magellan Explorist brochure, which of course covers the range from the GC (best value for money and best geocaching gpsr, only lacking topo maps) all the way past the 610 to the 710 (excellent mapping, as well as point-to-point [to hunt geocaches etc] AND turn-by-turn [for on-road travel] navigation).

When I walked out of the store I spotted this solar powered parking ticket machine across the road. I hadn't noticed before, but there seem to be dozens of these solar powered ticket machines in Perth.
