Would anyone be able to recommend a good all round GPS unit. Ive heard Navman are a good brand but they are only good for street level navigation.Im looking for something to get me around BOTH in the city and the bush.

How long is a piece of string ?
What do you want to use it for ?
4WDing ? Hiking ? Motorcycling? Aviation ? Cycling ?
What is its primary use ?
What is its secondary use ? How much secondary use ?
Do you need street maps? Topo maps ? Auto-routing ?
How much robustness do you need ?
How much are you prepared to pay ?

I bought the Garmin GPS76 - why? Couple of reasons - it is robust, dependable and as i do a lot of fishing as
well as 4WDriving, it floats, gives early warning of anchor drag, shallow water, deep water - hey it's just a great piece of kit. Hooked up to the lap top and oziexplorer it also does everything I need for bush work as
well.
But like everything else - horses for courses. (BTW I notice that the damn thing is now about $100 cheaper than I paid 6 months ago $340 or thereabouts at Johnny Appleseed)
Cheers
Pete
