We will be travelling from Renmark to Peterborough (S.A.) and planned to use the Goyder Highway, but the young lady on the GPS insists on sending us via Adelaide, which is about 150km extra distance. When I eventually persuaded her to go via the Goyder the travel time blew out to about 5 hours for a 280km trip. Is this just a quirk of the GPS or should the Goyder be avoided with a caravan.
Anyone's knowledge of this highway would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe you need to put a few more towns into the route programme so it knows which way you want to go. ie put in the town you next want to pass through, then the one after it. Sometimes we have to trick the GPS into doing what we want to do.
while it's not exactly the M1 it's quite a good road, not a lot of traffic either, plan to travel during daylight hrs, it's kangaroo country out there.
Google maps tells me it's a little under 300km and will take you about 3 hrs, depending on speed of travel of course.

The roads are good in that area as we have just travelled them. Our GPS said there was no road in some places as we drove along and it does look reasonably new. You shouldn't have any problem.
