I'm still waiting for my tomtom to arrive - hope it gets here before Christmas

Are you hiring a car in Oz? You know you can hire them with satnav in? We used a good car hire company from the airport, can't fault them at all

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

just back from a trip shopping around Sydney using my Navman.

As usual, a fair number of "turn right"s when the display shows the opposite, "continue straight ahead" when the computed track shows a turn - then the condemnatory "perform a U-turn" when you follow the voice.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Okayyyy

Errm can't you buy Tom Tom's once your over there????

OH had been looking at buying me an all singing dancing new car with it in but seems that only top of the range does the satnav inbuilt, I really don't need top of the range and would be quite happy with something that doesn't dance and sing.
But it means having to buy a SatNav system, IS it not possible to buy one out there or does it cost the earth ???? I need one here cause I am absolutely crap at naviagating around areas I don't know, not popular with the baby around tea time either

Surely if it' costs alot to buy the Sat NAv here and then buy a download or Aussie map to run on it would it not be better to buy it once your in Aus???
