Anyone got maps of Oz for a Zumo 550, how good, where from and how much? Can't find a free map download site like ones for NZ.
Garmin maps seem way expensive

This page has the routable maps.... I've loaded them in to Mapsource and the appear to work though they are not letterbox indexed as in exact numbered house addresses are not there but streets, POI's etc are.

You need to do a little procedure to load them in to Mapsource..
Download the utilitys:
Mapset Toolkit (here) or from http://masmap.org/
and cgpsmapper (here) from www.cgpsmapper.com
Actually I just followed the instructions found here.. www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-.img-files-into-mapsource-with-mapsettoolkit/
If you can't follow that I can try summarise the steps in my own words for you.
Good luck.

zumo 550 now replaced with another zumo 550. This one has alerts for fixed speed cameras. Thank you, Mr Garmin. And Ms Nasty.

I was just given a couple of track logs to convert to routes for a friend and found I have the tracksforaustrialia map set on the laptop. Would be worth a look Cary. Straight download, install on Laptiop/PC, then upload to GPS. Not file modifications etc but also unfortunately not autorouting like our very cool NZ mapset.

No idea how good they are cause never been their with a GPS to test them out.

Yes, please, do tell.
Got one here (on loan) and can't see any way to do that.
The proprietary plug has a big USB male end on it not compatible with any of my cameras.
Edit: or have you spent another $50 for this camera connection kit thingy?

Yes that is what I have - it works a treat.
Also very good for backing up the photos that you have taken just in case something happens (as it did to me when I was in India and Nepal in 2008. 3 weeks into my trip my camera says memory card error - please reformat the card!! I lost all the photos I had taken up to that point)
