As my old GPs had finally died, I am looking for a mulitpurpose GPS for turn by turn, off road and boating. The Garmin Nuvi 500 seems to be the closest to what I require as it is turn by turn, can take the marine charts and is also waterproof - a requirement that I must have..
My 1st question is can Tracks 4 Australia and Shonky maps be loaded onto the Garmin Nuvi 500. I have used these on my old GPS and they have been very useful.
Also my old GPS was a Garmin eTrek Vista and I have heaps of tracks (mainly
places I have been in the boat) saved on my PC and want to use these on the new GPS. Can they be downloaded via Mapsource which I also own.

Have a look at a Garmin Oregon 300, that has all the things you need too. Great little unit.
Also, if you have tracks and waypoints and things on your PC you can easily upload these to the Oregon via Mapsource
