I never put my life in the hands of a GPS...always look at a paper map if in doubt.

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.

Yes, Goyder Hwy is in SA Zoomtopz

Morning Thomas, I travel the Goyder Highway frequently

https://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=Renmark,+South+Australia&daddr=Peterborough,+South+Australia&hl=en&ll=-32.934929,140.603027&spn=7.428858,14.27124&sll=-34.216982,140.607632&sspn=0.228822,0.445976&geocode=FTaZ9v0dHq1jCCnHPgt2kCvBajEw_I5iVDYDBQ%3BFevdCP4dVH5GCCnLcGQ92Yi-ajEQ3I5iVDYDBA&oq=Peterborough&mra=ls&t=m&z=7

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.

I do not know of th Goyder. But if that is what the Barmera to Morgan , Morgan to Burra road is called . so be it .

They completely rebuilt the Burra-Morgan road about 15y ago , closed it completely , only locals were allowed to use it.

Yes it should be ok to tow your van across there Thomas . How do I know . I lived at Barmera for 8yrs , at that time .

As Herbie said . I allways check speedo to next turn off / town , then I know what my position is .

As last yr RAA could not find Oodla Wirra on their computer - I told em I was 8k south of Oodla Wirra on Barrier Hwy .

"Tell him to bring his tow truck as my car is undrivable " "He will make that call" I was told - ya get em .

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.
