Evening all,
After suffering the deficiencies of off road software mapping, I am in the market for a unit which supplies the following.
1/ City turn by turn navigation, with voice guidance.
2/ Speed view whist in item 1.
3/ POI for item 1.
3/ Oziexplorer loaded as a alternate map source for all of Australia. (Not interseted if the map source can't plot a route through Walker's Crossing)
4/ The ability to upgrade each map source without upsetting the other.
Been looking for a number of years and have yet to find a unit which meets this simple criteria.
Cheers
Steve

It sounds like your are after a similar set up to what I wanted.
This is what I came up with and now use:
A 7 inch Knav (cheap Chinese import) I bought for $275 on ebay.
It runs Igo 8
Oziexplorer CE.
It has an SD card slot into which I've loaded a 32 gb sd card. The software, Igo & OziExplorer, run from the SD card. It has other features that I don't use such as a wireless rear view camera.
I've used it for a year now without a hiccup and on some pretty dodgy tracks too (heavily corrugated) without mishap. It has been great so far.
I don't know if it runs both Igo8 and OziExplorer simultaneously, so I have to stop one to run the other. I could load Tom Tom and run that too if I chose to but Igo is good as Tom Tom, I've found.
