TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Kent Town.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Kent Town rises from the Adelaide plains with an air of settled dignity, its streets laid out with a deliberate grace. It lies 1.8 km east-north-east of Adelaide, SA (from Adelaide, SA: bearing 77°T), and is situated 5.0 km south-south-east of Prospect. The land here is flat, a gentle expanse that allows the eye to travel unimpeded, punctuated by mature trees that cast deep, cool shadows across manicured lawns and the occasional grand, old residence. The air, particularly as the sun begins its slow descent, carries a subtle sweetness, a blend of blooming jacarandas and the distant, earthy scent of the Adelaide Hills. The character of Kent Town is one of quiet refinement, a place where the hurried pace of the city seems to soften, allowing for a more considered existence.
The history of Kent Town is interwoven with the early development of Adelaide, its origins tied to the subdivision of land for discerning settlers seeking a more spacious existence on the city's edge. Originally part of the pastoral estate of John Kent, the area was envisioned as an elegant suburb, a vision that has largely endured. Its proximity to the burgeoning city centre fuelled a local economy that initially revolved around supporting the growing urban population with services and smaller trades, a tradition that continues in its vibrant local businesses and professional services. Today, Kent Town retains a distinct identity, a neighbourhood that honours its heritage through well-preserved architecture while embracing a contemporary lifestyle, a place where the echoes of horse-drawn carriages can almost be heard beneath the hum of modern life.

It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Kent Town is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
