Folks, Mildura is not a park, it's a town with 30000 population, so you'll expect a device with GPS mapping should provide quite accurate navigation pointing travelers there, not 70km away. No excuse to Apple or their fanboys
 
This is why you must do some trip pre-planning, maybe look at a paper map or other map services before you leave so you have an idea of where you are going in your mind (and follow the road signs!). Also, I wouldn't rely on online mapping software such as google/apple maps anywhere outside of town as reception is spotty, or non-existent.

You can get proper offline navigation apps that work just like a GPS unit. My GS3 came with Navigation by Garmin and a free map download, though I haven't had the need to properly test it yet.
