From the research I've performed I found that the mapping on all the
GPS' I looked at contain standard hemma mapping of
Australia.
If you are after detailed outback maps I believe you need to create your own through OziExplorer using something like Natmap Raster or get hold of some good mapping, copy and load into the OziExplorer program.
However have a look at the Magellan
GPS' they do have an SD card that has some detailed outback mapping. I haven't had a good look though to ascertain what detail they have. I'm sure that someone who reads this might come in and provide better info on Magellan than I can.
Removing the Navus, not sure that you'll be able to get something that will slot into that spot. From what I've read on this site it seems most people use a laptop with
GPS software. I'm tending to favour this as the screen is much bigger, and through the Ozi Explorer program you can create custom maps and routes.
Anyway, I'm heading over to the USA tomorrow morning and I'm going to have a look at how much they want for the Magellan
GPS or even a good laptop...prices are a bit cheaper over there so I may as well take advantage.
