  4. What is the Smartphone Touring Guide and how do I get it?
1. How do I get more information?
The first point of contact for further information regarding the places and experiences around the Greater Blue Mountains Drive should be one of the Accredited Visitor Information Centres located throughout the drive. These are the best places to obtain up-to-date information about road conditions and services like fuel and accommodation. For enquiries concerning the GBMD website, media, marketing, or of a general nature please contact the Blue Mountains Accommodation and Tourism Association through their website bmata.com.au
2. What is the Interactive Map and how is it different to other GBMD maps?
The Interactive Map is a feature of this site and its value lies in its ability to present 'live' information about the many tours and attractions in the Greater Blue Mountains Area. This is achieved by displaying live geo-referenced data from the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse using Google Maps. The GBMD Interactive Maps interface provides far more than what seems available at first glance and we recommend looking at the Help Section so that you don't miss out any detail of what the Drive has to offer.
3. Can I get the Greater Blue Mountains Drive on my GPS?
Yes. The GPS, Waypoint and Route Files page has the information you need. These files are in a range of common formats and include the Main Route, Discovery Trails, Accredited Visitor Information Centres, and many of the outstanding Natural Attractions of the Greater Blue Mountains area.
4. What is the Smartphone Touring Guide and how do I get it?
The GBMD Smartphone Touring Guide is an interactive PDF document that you can download to your smartphone and use even when you are out of mobile reception coverage.  It complements the Touring Map and contains individual maps and information about the many Discovery Trails in each NPWS Sector of the drive, and much more.
The smartphone guide can be found (only on your mobile phone) at www.GetoutABOUT.com.au, and also at www.GetinNOW.com.au (under Great Drives).
The GBMD Touring Map also contains a link to the Smartphone Touring Guide.
Touring Maps can be purchased from accredited Visitor Information Centres throughout the Blue Mountains area or through the Blue Mountains Accommodation and Tourism Association
