what to buy the swmbo? ...Who Has Everything

But which car fridge? Waeco or Engel? lol

perhaps Richard, you could buy her a bug zapper,or a map of Australia so that she can plot where she has been and where you are likely to take her on future trips.....these are some of the presents I have been so lucky to receive from 'Roachie'.

Merry Christmas
Annette

Hi No 1

A bug zapper ???? OMG what a romantic hahahahaha

I bought my Mum in Law a chair one Christmas but she wouldnt plug it in..............

an electric one eh...and not the reclining type

am following up on the nui

the quest as it has utm is for me

the jokers above and below are funny eh?????

how much are updates

Can you turn off some of the alarms if you don't want them ie Red light camera on the Garmin .?

I have a little Uniden speed camera / school zone / redlight warning thingie , and all the alarms go off constantly . I wish I could turn the red light camera one off , but I am too stupid to figure out how or maybe it is not possible .

The way it is now , I think I will only ever use it on country trips .

Cheers ,

Willie .

Hi Kirsten

I bought the Nuvi 660...it went back the following day. Great unit in everyway bar 1.
Try and plan your itinery with the places you want to go and then get the unit to determin the destination.
If you just want to go from A to B great. If you want to go from A to B via C..great. BUT.... try and go from A to B via c,d,e and it cant do it. For $1100 thats a big omision on Garmins part.
Thats why I am going to buy the TomTom 910. You can plan all the places you want to go, in any order you want to do it.

Richard the Garmin map updates are around $300 maybe more for each new version I wouldnt upgrade mine till Ver 8 comes out. I have ver 6

thats a good idea....lol

cost of updates?
does it have utm?

Hey Dave

Have you seen this little program for the tomtom's.
Site Link

Great little program that runs on the tomtom along side the o/s.

Havent tried it yet but looks like the bee's knee's

Peter

Even I can use Tom Tom. but another suggestion, you could get your long suffering wife a younger husband. At least she could play with it longer, it would be more reliable and not go off shootin n fishn and stuff all the time.

your supposed to stick up for me Des

Hi Peter

One of the advantages of TomTom is that it runs on a sort of Linux platform so people can write applications and addins for it.

You don't get that with any of the others as far as I know.

So far a mate of mine has worked out how to play compressed DVD's on it, as well as an MP3 player add in for it.

The bluetooth interaction with a phone is a big plus - unless you leave the tomtom on in the car and walk into the house and it answers the phone for you :)

As for UTM I'm not sure, and update cost - I'm pretty sure the Version 5 users are getting the Aust Vers 6 map update for free, someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Apparently there's been a delay with the CD mail out but it's not far off.

I've already got Vers 6 on my PDA and there are some other good improvements - like the ability to enter lat/long for destination which wasn't in 5. I haven't looked at UTM.

Dave

Des, did u get Kevin's Aussie voice?

Bonz, it has arrived up here but I think Kevin told me to ef off LOL.

A very wise response but MN1 already has enough jewellery :)))))))

she certainly does Gramps...how the bloomin hell did you know

Now MN1, no woman EVER has enough jewellery. This is probably the only constant in the universe LOL

thats what they say Gramps...its not what I believe and know factually

my wallet will show the truth

Hahaha ... just think of the health problems you're avoiding by taking that weight out of your wallet :))))

dont think so Truckster...i am trying to get a leave pass for 10-12 days

so she will love the ease of an electric winch!!!!

i've tried buying her a broom...with a big smile ...that didnt work...dont think the mop will either

it didnt work..... or she woudnt ride it?

i was sold a dud

why would one want an iron when camping...lol

Totally impulse purchase - its a hard item to find.

Xmas camp was going to be within range of Dargo pub for new year and
it wouldn't hurt to spruce up , but I guess that idea has gone up in smoke ?
(not the pub- well last time I checked anyway)
