Best GPS for $220.00

I got the 7" GPS/Camera and it is very impressive.
I just wonder if Ozi Explorer can read the IGO8 maps which come with the unit in a SD card and a CD?

nope - different image types :/ but you can get the Melways maps for ozi to read ;)

I bought that GPS off eBay the other day for $60 plus $36 postage no reversing camera bought as l don't have a need for one, it is a great GPS and loads of features quite clear voice for map reading while driving and swaps over to different display for night time driving. ahs 32 satellite cappability doesn't take long to work out routes, or suggest alternative route when you go off route.

Very happy buyer would recommend it qas cheap GPS replacement

Bugger :mad: the Oz maps (IGO8) that come with the unit are 2009 and not 2010 as advertised.
The camera does not work :(
I sent 3 emails and so far they ignored my request and asking for give them 5 Star :eek:
I hope that all will be resolved soon, I need the camera :(

Ranga,

RE: "Best option is to wire it into your reverse signal, as the moment it powers on it overrides the GPS. "

I did mine slightly differently....I used a 3 pole-2 way switch....the +ve leadfrom camera I ran back to centre pole, LHS pole to accessories or battery, RHS to reverse wire.....switch is normally on RHS so when I put in reverse it automatically comes on, but if I want to have a look at how camper is travelling or anything out the rear when in transit I flick switch to LHS.....not much more mucking around for a more useful set-up IMHO.

Cheers Stace

I agree the switch is very useful, but it is considerably more mucking around if you are using the wireless camera.
