Hi
Is it better to buy in the UK or wait untill I get to Australia which is the cheaper option.never used one before are the easy to use.thanks for any help

Brad

Easy to use, I would wait and buy in Australia, it will be loaded with local roadmaps and also you have to pay taxes on anything less than a year old when entering Australia, that is if you declare it.

Just wait buddy. one less thing to worry about until you arrive.

I agree. Even if the price is slighty higher there, you would probably still be in pocket. If you bought here, it would have UK maps, then you have to fork out another £130 (ish) for the Aussie maps.

thanks for your help.

I agree, tomtom one is excellent.
I use it daily, without it i would be completely lost.

Road Angel wouldn't be a bad investment either, speed limits change regularly and the Police are experts at hiding behind tree's and bushes over here, no fixed cameras but plenty mobile.

Hi living on the gold coast now.Bought a tomtom 910 in the uk,wanted to have it as soon as i got off the plane.So I didnt get lost on the drive.Met this guy through ebay.

managed to get the maps through him nice and cheap.He's really helpfull
If your thinking about it,I would get a tomtom in the uk.Least then its one less thing you have to panic about when you get here!!!!
Hope this helps

anybody know where I can download the speed camera POI in OZ for tomtom ?

I can only find one from 2006.

These guys do UK and Aus speed cameras. Dont know how good the Aus ones are yet, but the UK ones are excellent. You have to be a member to download, but I think you can join for a month for about £2.

Find it all here mate. Free.

excellent.

Thanks Hutch.

My husband was researching the Tomtom prices last night as we are going in reverse back to the UK.
If price is your main concern, he told me they are cheaper in UK.

Great link for the tom tom maps. Just had a look at the website but perhaps it's me being thick but the only prices I could see was for postage. Can you remember how much you paid for Aussie maps?
