Hi guys, I am wondering if there is such a thing as what i would consider the perfect GPS/In Car Navigation system without using my laptop...this is what i am after.
1. Turn by Turn navigation with voice prompts.
2. Street maps of all Oz Cities and country towns.
3. Upgradable to be able to also use Desert maps, Marine maps etc (ok i might be pushing the marine part)
4. Dash mounting
5. Cannot break the bank account.
Am I dreaming or is this feasable? I know the Navman ICN630 can do the turn by turn voice prompts with the city/country maps but i have been told it is not upgradable.
Thanks in advance.

I know where you are coming from as I have just done the same.
My setup:
Ipaq 2210
Holux CF GPS with external aerial
Navman Turn by Turn Software
Oziexplorer CE running Natmap and Hema maps
This setup gives me the best of both worlds plus you can view photo's and if you connect it to your phone you can have email and web.
You can purchase a Navman haldheld PC for about $900 which runs Pocket PC 2003 and will run Oziexplorer CE and all maps, you will just need a larger SD Card to store the maps, 1GB cards are going for about $100 on ebay.
