Tom Tom is very popular in Aus for cars but for a bike Garmin seems better. BTW I don't have one and don't mind getting lost sometimes. You meet the nicest people when lost.

I take it Garmin car units are different to the bike ones then? I haven't heard much good stuff about the garmin car units.

I used one a few years back. Took me across Europe & back tickety boo. The ear pads fitted badly into my helmet so the sound was a burble over the wind noise. Better ear phones. You can also download a range of voices onto them, my personal fave is a sexy chicky voice who threatens to spank you when you turn the wrong way. Good piece of kit.
If memory serves me it also gave a choice of routes, quickest, shortest & twistiest. Be interesting to see if this is on the NZ maps. Happy days.

Lol. I've heard you can download some pretty funny ones. :-)

i like the tom tom for ease of use, it was a blessing when i toured norway, but i prefer the garmin, just because all the mapping software is freely available,
i now use my nokia 5230 which has a built in gps and maps are free for 70 countries including nz, and it cost less than $300, its not water proof but it can still be used through the clear plastic on my tank bag, and i can bluetooth music to my helmet as well as directions as i ride

good all in 1 peice of kit

Are you sure thats your model number? Doesn't come up on the vodafone site

Does it cost anything to use the map on your phone??? Ie internet costs etc
