Navman Sat/Nav
Hi All,
I have a Navman ICN 30 Satelite Navigation System for the car. It currently has UK maps.
I am therefore looking for New Zealand Mapping for this unit. I have tried Trademe, and did in fact win one of the auctions, but the seller would not wait for a UK cheque to be sent, so I am still Looking.
I have tried the obvious, like contacting Navman Europe, but they don't have this in stock.
Does anyone know where else I can look to purchase this?
We leave for NZ in 2 weeks, so I'd like to have this before we come.
Cheers

Hi Michelle,
I'm the same...I went on their mailing list about 6-7 weeks ago. Each time I phone they tell me the same thing........"It will be in in about 2-3 weeks"....
I'm just hoping they have it before I go..unless I get it elsewhere.
Cheers

Not sure how much the Navman maps cost but Dick Smith have a Garmin Quest (a bit dated but still functional) for $398. You could sell the ICN 30 on eBay. Or if you're feeling a bit more adventurous you could buy a cheap Garmin Nuvi 300 in the UK and use the NZ maps from http://gwprojects.orcon.net.nz/gps/ on it.

(the Garmin was 99 notes from Maplin - who seem to sell a lot of DSE, Dick Smith, stuff!!)Oh yeah if you are going down the Garmin route it is best to buy a micro-SD card in the UK - called transflash as this will be required (for the Streetpilot at least) as supplimentary storage for POIs and maps - 256Mb will be fine but the larger cards are really cheap now.

Re: Navman Sat/Nav
I have a tom tom 700 but from what I can see tom tom don't do a road map of NZ pity I use it in my job everyday and find it saves me hours overtime it more than pays for itself. A friend of mine in the uk has a Garmin 660 for sale he only bought it a few months ago but has lost sight in one eye and they took his HGV licence away. so he has no use for it now, My question is would it be any good in NZ as it is a europe version ie: are there downloads for NZ maps?
