Hope I just got a bad one. But Auckland was well beyond it's capabilities. Even Rotorua was a struggle for it.

I also recieved a Navman for Xmas. I just plugged it in to lighter in car, went straight off. The sound I find is not great quality, not as clear as I have heard others work.

I married a wonderful woman who can read maps so we never get lost, the extra plus is she is a bloody good cook and keeps me warm at night, I bet your gps can't do that.

Yes, but I bet all that extra maintenance costs you a fortune.

Yes, he's right. You'll never need a house charger. Just connect to computer using supplied USB cable. Navman - good choice, got one when I got sick of Garmin getting lost ! Never a problem with Navman.

do not buy house charger.you can buy a cigarette lighter dble adapter, it has a usb output, so you can use cable that you use on computer for updates, I do this with my garmin
