Hello
The actual program DiscoverAus Streets and Tracks (DAST) and will only run on Windows PC operating systems (eg Windows XP/98). The devices you mention dont run this operating system so DAST will not work on them. Maps created by DAST and placed on an SD card will only work in Magellan GPS units...so...
Cheers
Greg

Maps aint Maps Sol, to coin a Castrol ad from prolly before you were born. Each map seller tries to set them up so you will buy their hardware, software shell or package. Magellan are a little more user friendly but Tom Tom are proprietary I think so you buy their maps for their hardware, most PDA's and GPS combined unit jobbies are like that sadly.
ahh cest la vie

Geeeze Bonz You wouldn't expect the manufacturers to make it that easy would you. Fancy having Garmin Mapsource working on a Magellan, just wouldn't be cricket hehehe
