The maps distinguish between sealed and unsealed roads and include 4WD tracks; each of the top 100 trips is prominently highlighted. Symbols indicate various facilities and places of interest, including supply points for different types of fuel, camping areas, bush camping, etc. Topography is indicated by names of mountain ranges, peaks, deserts, etc, plus graphics for sand rides, swamps, salt lakes, areas subject to inundation, etc. National parks and other protected areas are prominently highlighted, as are Aboriginal lands and restricted entry areas. The maps have latitude and longitude lines at intervals of usually 1° or 30. Each state also includes a street plan of the city center in its capital, annotated with places of interest and recommended accommodation, plus maps of the surrounding suburbs and a distance table.
