Well I'm looking into this for my Dear Husband.
Just wanted a pointer, which models do people generally go for or decide between. He mainly likes the idea for navigation (yes replacing his Dear Wife) around the city, particularly when driving on his own. But it would be really good if they have some use in the bush too, or general travelling around Oz.
He currently has a Garmin GPS 76, and he uses Ozi Explorer software on his computer (not whilst driving) - hah mainly to download the tracks of where we have been to date which he has recorded on the GPS.

I have mainly heard of the likes of Garmin, Tom Tom etc, around the $600 price point and some cheaper ones. So what price should I be looking at for starters (if it costs more we can just save up).

I'm not entirely sure about in dash vs portable, portable would be handy (we have two cars, so he can take it in whatever car he drives to the city) but ultimately for the long term he'd probably want an in dash system, so I guess he'll have to decide which car he prefers!

So just after ideas of what I should be looking into further please.
