Hi

I am thinking of doing some overseas travel soon and I am after a GPS device , car or handeheld not a phone, that has an easy and cheap option of changing maps to new countries.

Dont want a phone cause all phones I have used previous can never get a GPS signal or need internet data and never as efficient as a dedicated GPS device.

    Try something like this. $40 with shipping!

    You can easily find maps on sites like GPSunderground for free and update!

      thats brilliant thanks, and that is the exact GPS unit I currently have which i got from Aldi for $99 about 4 years ago.

      Which means I can prob just download the maps only and put it on to my aldi device.

      Thanks for the info!

    yes you can. I think it should be running a mapping prog call iGo Primo.

      thanks for that, I know it uses Sensis maps which I think is iGO

      any other good resources you can recommend to download iGo maps?

    I just bought a cheap gps from china on ebay and asked the guy to load europe maps instead of ozzy maps. worked brilliant.
