Hi guys,

I've just bought and after market DVD,TV,GPS...etc unit that have the maps loaded in an micro sd memory sticked to it and I would like to update the maps, and my question is, do U know from where can I get Australian maps and does maps from other devices such as Tom tom, navman..etc can be upload and used or do I need a specific maps from my specific type navigation system, which is an after market Toyota Camry GPS,DVD.DVT,TV unit that have maps in a micro SD card?

Thanks

 

At the moment I'm deciding which brand portable GPS I'll buy for my Camry. So I'm deep into research on the subject. If you do a Google search for "GPS" and "FORUM" you'll find some very lively discussions on all brands of equipment. You might have to be armed with info on the particular format of maps needed for your GPS.

I come from an airline background so I have lots of friends who are dialed into this topic. One of them told me this the other day: current smartphones are surpassing even Garmin when it comes to GPS. Surprise! Who knew.

The whole industry is about to make a major shift in this direction. And some companies will go out of business. So be careful throwing money into hardware.
