I have written off my Asus 636 PDA/GPS - broke the stylus off inside thwe machine and after numerous numerous attempts to extract it - it spat the dummy. It took exception to me drilling holes and poking wire up the tube.... Dur!!

I also found that the running Natmap's 1/250,000 series maps via Oziexplorer CE that the Natmap map. files (ECW's) were a bit 'grunty' as in large and caused the GPS moving map to stall, go grey or disappear all together depending on its mood. So time for a new one.

My preferences are to run good maps - how good are the Garmin maps and can you run other maps like Hema etc. Really need maps with good bush data not just main roads or a street mapping. The latter is OK but not essential

I am wondering what the Garmin Nuvi 660 is like - anyone have any other recomendations. Also like a fairy large screen but don't want to lug the laptop around in the car.

Cheers John
