Sat Nav
I have a tom tom sat nav ,I know they are sold in NZ ,question is can I buy the street plan memory card there to plug into mine and will it work in NZ.
I am just waiting for my EOI to be passed as we have had it accepted for approval and now await the next stage .I cannot wait to get back to a country so peaceful and laid back.Too many people here in the UK and no space.

Re: Sat Nav
I'm not aware of any TomTom maps for NZ, I used the PPC version in the UK but am relying on paper maps here. You can get the Navman solution but it's quite expensive - c$500 for the PPC software and maps, but this wouldn't work on a TomTom "Go".

Buggered if I know.............
I have always thought a Tom Tom was a type of African or aboriginal drum or a member of Tom-Tom-Macoute of Papa-Doc Duvalier infamous reign.
PPC I am clueless, partly politically correct?
Buggered if I know.
Ho hum!

Re: Sat Nav
I'm not sure about TT, but our little Garmin i3 (absolutely excellent by the way, beats TT hands down) - but Garmin have released the NZ maps now.
They have UK-like coverage of all the major cities (AKL, CHC, WLG etc) and the rest looks pretty basic (just main roads) - but it won't be long before they're all in there I reckon!

Well we do like to confuse the elders!
Great little Satnav unit that gives you turn by turn directions as you drive, and tells you where your nearest restaurants/supermarkets/mcdonalds etc are!

Re: Sat Nav
Ahhhhhhhhhh.......now I see!
Does it play games and such should one get totally bored or worse still lost whilst driving?
Fortunately for me I know where the nearest MacDonalds is, can't say I like them too much as they upset my stomach, tend to fill me full of gas........errrrrrr sorry that is probably a bit too much information.
