I was in Dick Smith today (like curry's) and here are the prices for their GPS
Navman icn 330 $488
Tom Tom GO710 $949
Tom Tom One $686
Garmin C320 Street Pilot $878
Navma icn530 $649
One of the cheapest places I found in the UK was http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk
Check them out. 'Apperently' you can download the Australia maps from the internet (or I'll email them to you) but I understand they will only work on a PDA running MS Pocket Windows not a Tom Tom unit. Put it this way, they work on my PDA with out any problem.

Annoyances for me:
- TomTom locks when turning on POI
- Hands-free mic is poor (compared to K710)
- Image quality is poor (compared to K710 which has a LOWER pixel count)
- Volume control does not work during calls when using Telediscount (free calls to NZ/OZ)
- Forwarding text messages to same recipient takes 10 clicks (2 in K710)
- Startup is the slowest I've ever experienced (45 secs)
- After startup, signal exists for a second, then disappears for a while before coming back so making a call from a turned off mobile is frustrating.
- Nokia PC suite disconnects after about 4 minutes with bluetooth so music transfers need to use USB
Of course, some of these things won't bother some people, depending on how they use it.
Would I pick another phone? Well, no. Why? Because there isn't another phone which is free on contract on O2 (free 0845 calls, handset not locked), is TomTom compatible, has FM radio, a (relatively) decent camera and has a memory slot. Oh, plus I have about 7 months left on my contract .

My receiver is a RoyalTek RGM-2000. I have used the settings described on the RoyalTek website, but to no avail.
