Hi guys

Thought this was a good price. The shop that i'm working at is having a sale on 2011 editions of Melways.
These are the 2011 edition of Melways (flexible covers).

I get absolutely nothing from this and is just pointing it out as I thought that it was a good price.
The shop is Burwood Height Post Office and the address is: 16 Burwood Road, Burwood East, VIC 3151.
(eastern melbourne suburb)

Hope its a good price for you guys

    Is this you guys, or is the fact the item's in East Burwood just a coincidence?

    Useless waste of money IMO better to get a GPS. Much safer and easier to get to unknown destinations.

      I know your opinion is the general consensus nowadays but I love my Brisways (I actually use a Refedex but it's the same thing). I feel like I am actually learning the way to go when I look at it so I very rarely need to use it for the same destination more than once.

      by just listening to directions i often find i havent really learned how i actually got to the destination.
      at least with a melways or similar directory i find that i get a "memory map" picture in my head of how i got there.
      maybe its just me?

        No, not just you :)
        Also keep in mind that not everyone is tech savvy and do prefer to do things manually, hence looking up a Melway for directions.

        No, def not just you! Much as I love my Nokia 'with maps' GPS phone, a paper map gets in your head somehow plus gives you a much better overview of a place.

        You're not in the minority.

        An actual study was performed on reliance on GPS and how it can have a negative effect on brain function.

      Waste of paper as well.

  • Richardlwf89 on 04/02/2011 - 08:44

    Thanks, time to update my 1999 version :p

  • Richardlwf89 on 04/02/2011 - 08:48

    Ignore. Phone double posted.

    Yeah but $34.95 is the regular price at BigW/Kmart and most other shops all the time…

  • oz-dxer on 04/02/2011 - 09:55

    at officeworks fountain gate yesterday, i think they were like $41 on "special" up the front
    so $34.95 sounds ok

  • superkieu on 04/02/2011 - 11:31

    this deal = average street price.

    as for the arguements about Paper Map VS GPS : I prefers to use both.
    I remember better with paper map while GPS would save me time whenever get lost.
    (I can also PIMP my GPS with custom voice theme. Some of them are very funny)

    I have to confest my Street Directory is from 1998
    (lost some pages and the paper is getting brittle hehehe)

      Some studies have shown using GPS on a regular basis causes memory problems. I don't have a Street Directory in my car atm, but it's always good to have one I think. GPS sometimes takes ages to lock on in my phone, and it's good to have a backup just in case something happens.
      I have a library of '92, '93, '95, '96 and '97 Melways kicking around the house though, half of which were given to my family by others many years back.
