I called it Street but it did find Mulgrave Road but mine only shows it crossing the Bruce Highway and then running parallel to the Bruce Highway for a block and a half and then it stops. But the numbers on the Bruce Highway do go on and on.

Aumuller Street runs from Tingira Street to Hoare Street & it crosses Mulgrave Road
That is true I didn't trace it far enough

Cliff I have found some of the maps don't equal the reality. They are only as good as the the people that drive the course with the computer and record the data for the GPS

Here is the map I have Aumuller Street is a lot further south down the Bruce Highway.

Ar-huh! It is all clear now...

Mulgrave Road is the Bruce Highway.

The bit that they are calling Mulgrave Road on that map is actually the service road on the side of Mulgrave Road. (AKA the Bruce Highway)

That will be why the one I was using couldn't find 196 Mulgrave Road, I should have been looking for 196 Bruce Highway.

GPS systems are pretty good but they do sometimes get lost.

The one I have got lost when I was going to Sydney down the Putty Road. About half way along it thinks you have taken off in an aeroplane because it starts telling me how many air kilometres it is to my destination and after about 60klms it thinks you have landed again and starts back on road kilometres.

That happens on very windy range roads 'cos the map makers are too bloody lazy to draw all the bends.

Have a look at the Gillies Highway & the road from Smithfield (Cairns) to Kuranda... I bet that sections of them are drawn as a straight line.
