Hi
Anybody taken their Tom Tom sat nav system to Oz from the UK? I believe you can get Oz maps to load and they sell them in Oz, but have no idea whether units made for the UK work in Oz. I emailed the company to ask them but got no reply.
Thanks
Adam

We've just ordered the Australian maps from ebay. Can't vouch for them as hubby has literally just ordered them
so we haven't seen them yet. Here's the link if anyone else is interested

Ours is on our mobiles too - best investment ever!

I have the Australia Maps in a rar file for TomTom Navigator 5 (I thinkthis is for PDA?). I got them for my parents who were visiting in December but they were never used so not sure if they are any good! If anyone would like to try them, PM me your email address and I will send the file onto you.

I am using Tom Tom Australia and it works PERFECT!
It was so good to land in a new country, pick up a hire car and drive exactly where we wanted to go. I even did a lot of pre planning in the UK to see how far certain places were from our house etc.
Here's the info where I got my maps from.
