GPS maps in D4

[Steffo]

My Disco 4 is a Jan 10 build and have found the factory GPS maps to be hopeless outside the city( Brisbane) eg the Mt Lindesay Hwy thru Beaudesert and Rathdowney was basically the only road named and with no roads from eg Rathdowney to Boonah!!
This post is for the SE QLD chaps predom!!
I rang the dealer (Bruce Lynton at Gold Coast) to be told that I would have to pay $500 for the latest hard drive upgrade from LR. They could not tell me if it would be any better than what I have got, as they cannot preview it!
Does anyone else have a similar problem? Or have I a problem with my harddrive or with out of date software or what?

My D4 is a Feb 10 build and the minor road detail is hopeless. On a recent trip from Canberra back to Brisbane via some back roads, the GPS had no idea which road I was on. I have invested in a secondary unit running Oziexplorer and Hema maps.

I also have been disappointed.
Sat nav in D4 built Feb '10, delivered late May '10.

Offroad I use a Tomtom running a free programme called TTMaps, that allows use of Hemas digital maps. Just like a Hema Navigator but way cheaper!

I am looking for a GPS unit that will run Ozi as well as the standard nav maps. Not necessarily interested in Hema maps though.
What is the cheapest option?

Hack a unit you already have !!

So, what have you got already ?

I had a garmin M4 but the internal battery is fied I think. When it closed down it loses the ozi program.
Looking to replace but I don't need the PDA function.
Which ones can be hacked to run ozi CE?

CaverD3,

Check out this thread in the GPS section of the forum.

AULRO Subscriber Offer - cheap on-road/off-road GPS units

Basically one of the forum members (Ranga) has been assisting people set these $100 units up very nicely. Can also run a reversing camera / bluetooth etc, from the feed back on that thread alone it would appear to be $100 bucks well spent, or at least not a bad option to dropping somewhere north of $500 on a similar unit.
