go down to Dick Smith and ask them... they are very helpful and will sort it out for you.

I would like TomTom ones - I suspect they are better than the Navman Sensis ones.

I got a Navman 510, bought from John Lewis' in the UK, takes a while (sometimes between 5-10 minutes!) to pick up the satelite but works fine.

It takes a lot longer if you haven't used it for some time or start from a different position, since it has to get its timing synch. right. IMO!
