Could you please tell me if it's possible to use offline maps for navigation when driving from Perth to Shark Bay in Western Australia? I heard that there might be areas with no mobile phone signal. Is a GPS device absolutely necessary ?

No signal, just in some places, it's a main road, can't get lost, just got back
Offline navigation is fine.
Yes, there will be some sections without signals. You can use the offline function of Google Maps.
Offline is fine. I traveled from Darwin down to Ayers Rock last year, and most of the way had no signal, so I was using offline maps.

No problem, I'm here now. I've used it many times. Make sure to download the offline map first.
