Yes, domestic SIM cards cannot be used with Google Maps APP in Australia! You can only change to local SIM cards...Local SIM cards are usually available at 7-Eleven or Family Mart convenience stores at the airport. Insert the card into the mobile phone, and you can connect to the phone company for free. Fill in the required information and pay the fee to activate...

Can you provide a car with navigation? I see that you said the signal is poor in many places in Australia. Is the navigation real-time or offline available? Will it be affected by the signal? Do I need to use my own phone navigation? What offline navigation software can be downloaded on the mobile phone? Thank you ? Australia Q&A

In addition to GPS, use mobile phone navigation for comparison. Because GPS sometimes points in the wrong direction. I only used Optus card throughout the journey, except for a section of the Great Ocean Road with no signal, everything else was fine. However, it is important to note whether the mobile phone used has the Australian 4G spectrum. Because the 4G spectrum in the country is different, some people often complain about poor reception ?

Driving in Australia is on the left-hand side of the road. If you are driving a manual car, you will need to be comfortable with driving on the left side of the road. You should also be aware that the speed limits in Australia are generally higher than in many other countries. For example, the speed limit on most highways is 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph). It is important to always wear your seatbelt and to follow the rules of the road. This includes obeying traffic lights, stop signs, and giving way to pedestrians and cyclists where necessary. In addition, it is illegal to use your mobile phone while driving in Australia. This includes making calls, sending texts, and using social media. If you are planning on driving in rural areas, be aware that there may be fewer services available, such as petrol stations and restaurants. It is also important to be aware of the potential for wildlife on the roads, particularly in national parks and reserves. Finally, make sure you have appropriate insurance coverage for your vehicle before you drive in Australia. This will protect you in case of an accident or other unforeseen event ? Australia Q&A
