Destinator and Map monkey.... Can be had for $0 if you look hard enough

Yep, thats the solution I have and its quite good but not brilliant. The software itself etc is good, its the issue of balancing a 12.1" laptop, the gps leads and the laptop power lead in a easy to see position thats safe and secure when driving and parked.

Now that I have an auto diesel soccer mum wagon, I might bite the bullet and join the coffee shop soccer mum set and buy a tom tom.

You need Map Monkey to go with it, see Map Monkey GPS Navigation for PC

Ahh yes, I forgot about destinator. IMO that would have to be the worst satnav program on the market.

Garry, I did not buy another cheap satnav item because I did not want yet another thing stck to the dash. Since I already had the computer and touchscreen, for me it was worth getting Co-Pilot.

Exactly - I use oziexplorer with UBD maps (thanks Utemaid) when I go into Sydney but you need to plan the trip before hand and put on the red track line first - works OK except if there is a detour - I just drive for the red line and hope I get back to it - generally works but sometimes I end up in a dead end.

CoPilot might be the go if Destinator ain't so good.

Thanks
