Introduction
The VMS Touring 600 navigates just as well in the outback as it does around town!
Ideal for exploring the outback, the Touring Series features three of Australia’s most
popular map collections.
The Gregory’s range of activity maps are ideal for locating points of interest and activi-
ties to see and do. Beautifully illustrated, the maps also provide useful information such
as the locations of fuel stations, camp sites and caravan parks.
The 4WD enthusiast keen on tackling rough tracks can switch to the iTOPO 1:250,000
scale topographic maps. This map collection covers the entire country and displays the
majority of 4x4 tracks.
Street navigation features the latest Where IS maps, the most trusted name in turn by
turn navigation. With spoken street names and easy to follow voice guidance the Tour-
ing 600 will get you to your destination in great time.
Other capabilities of the Touring 600 include the ability to display up to tow VMS camera
images. With optional camera kits available, this single device can function as a reverse
camera screen whilst also providing street and off road navigation.
Designed in Australia, the Touring 600 sets the benchmark for 4x4 Navigation!
