Product Introduction
The VMS Touring 430 navigates just as well in the outback as it does around town!
Ideal for touring the outback, the Touring Series features the iTOPO* topographic mapping system
and is complete with 4WD tracks, camp sites, caravan parks & other vital info so you can explore
the most remote regions in complete confidence.
Street navigation uses the latest Where IS mapping for Australia. Featuring spoken street names
and easy to follow voice guidance the VMS Touring will get you safely and quickly to your
destination.
With the VMS reverse camera package, the Touring 430 can also display up to 2 camera images
automatically.
Designed in Australia, we believe that the Touring Series is the best GPS for touring & 4WDs!
*iTOPO maps are optional
