Yes, you can safely bring a USA Meridian Colour and Change the base map.
I have brought in a couple now, and regularly do as i like to try different GPS's.
I am personally looking at bringing in a FX324 Colour or another Meridian Colour at the moment.
We paid about $1200 for 2 x 256mg SDCards, Antenna, Unit, Vehicle Mount, Power And Data Cable.

Steve,
Can you explain how this change to the Australian basemao is done. I would imagine that you have to buy the world wide basemap and the upload into the unit. Would you be interested in giving me the details of which retailer you used to purshase your units from. I don't want to buy from a shonk.
Thanks Mark.

I downloaded the MagUp software from Magellan, and 'found' the Australian Basemap online which i then uploaded to the GPS.
We get ours from GPS City in the US.
A collegue in the States orders them, ships them to his place, repackages and mails to us here. (he gets the $50US Rebate then.
