Hi There,
We have a garmin and were able to purchase OZ maps on ebay about a month ago. They did come from eastern europe:confused:cost £45 i think, but it works great. We were also out bid on a few so they are out there. hope this helps.

Be careful with ebay though! We bought Oz maps for Garmin and they were counterfeit!! Cost £50. Off an Indian fella i think! Got our money back after loadsa hassle.

I have been quoted £160 for an sd card with oz mapping on, not sure what to do as it is a good peice of kit and not sure if i could trust ebay.

For that price you can get brand new units here in australia - wait and buy a new unit in aus with a new warranty etc. Stick that one on ebay and flog it inuk

299$ gets you a good unit like latest tomtom - or cheaper ones (4" wide screen unit in aldi at moment for 199$)
