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

we contacted garmin by phone and got them

thanks all

just spoken to a garmin rep here in ireland...

he quoted me €235 euro for a cd of australia that can me uploaded to my garmin...

what did you all pay in the uk??

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.

Hi Russ- Sarah
We got ours on e-bay also for £46.00 came from dealer in Canada

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$)

These guys are good on anything GPS and would be able to advise on pricing for Garmin maps - http://www.ja-gps.com.au
