My Aussie GPS in the UK

Geez Rick, you're on the up and up....lol

Dunno mate, I would get lost just thinking about where to drive amongst those millions of cars.

Anyway enjoy your trip

Cheers

May be able to get something like this locally before you go

Get a UK base map and then load a detailed map over the top of it.

Same as you would have done to work the Explorist here.

When you get there and first turn it on it will probably take a while to get it's bearings fron S&E to N&W , also I would be getting onto the internet and see where you can get UK mapping software for it , I'm a Garmin user so can't help much other than what I have typed here,
If I were going to UK this is what I would do, I would go get one of these Mapsource City Navigator Europe Total inc. GST: $325.00 and have it installed in one of these www.ja-gps.com.au/garmin_quest_1.html from this place www.ja-gps.com.au/index.htm

Rick - when we went to Europe 3 years ago, I bought Europe Streets & Tracks which is the same program as our Discover Aus Streets & Tracks. I loaded the countries that I wanted into the Magellan Meridian (works with eXplorists as well) and navigated with ease - it was the best thing we did. You can probably get the Magellan Europe Streets & Tracks cheaper now on eBay. I think I paid about $99 from the USA.

ps - Not all of Europe is on the CD eg Greece is not there, but UK is included.

Get some local maps, but remember to turn the GPS around for the other side of the world :o)

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

My first response is that for about $ 130 Ozzie dollars for the data file, I may not get a lot of value over the three week hire car venture. (I can still read maps).

Cheers again
