If you need questiones answered, I should be able to help. I have worked for GME (Australian Garmin distributor) until just recently and pretty much know the ins and outs of the products. If not, I have insiders who can help me to answer your question :)

I like the GPSV as a navigator for vehicle use. However, after having a streetpilot 3 for 8 months I couldn't imagine going outside familiar territory without one. Travelling through
Sydney ( I live in
Perth) in February this year was shear brilliance using the Streetpilot3. I just got back from
Sydney on another trip without the Streetpilot 3 and it was a dismal driving experience. I am normally patient but my navigator was not a happy camper!!! Minimum is the GPSV, for sure, however be aware that the GPSV can take both the metroguide and the city navigator maps. If you need to know any more details on these maps let me know.

Regarding Hemma maps, they should state on the map around the edge or map info the datum it is using. I would think Hemma uses AGD84 which is 90% of all maps in use. Best thing to do if you cannot see the Map info then contact Hemma directly. Also, remember that sometimes data can be incorrect and you might be right. If the errors in metres are consistant for all the waypoints then it is clearly a mismatch of the datums.
