I just bought a tom tom one from dick smith, it was on special for $450, you pay $500 and send original copy of reciept and get $50 cash back don't know if special is stil on

I heard Navman is not very good so far no trouble with tom tom one and is very clear and basic you don't need a big screen, if you do dicide to get one make sure its a tom tom one not just the tom tom, thats the dicontinued one

Good luck

I've got a navman, icn520
It went to victoria on the bike with me, and I use it all the time with my ute, even though i know where I's going I use it so I know where the road goes, makes overtaking easier and i use it to keep track of how far to fuel etc.

I'd say it's done about 30,000km now, 6500 on bike, rest in the car, and I think it's fantastic, it locks up every now and then, but once reset, away it goes :D
Large easy to read screen too :)

My Mio is the 136, works great but when i bought it, it was $799 :cry: .

Just make sure it has the latest maps you can get :wink:

The prices now are cheap and it's half yearly clearance time as well so there are deals to be had.
