You won't need it for long. you have underestimated my direction idiocy my friend...I have lived in palmy for 4 years now, and I only know the following places: Massey pck n slave the plaza home 1 of my other friends home and the gym... I am quiet amazed that I survived that long and I still get lost easily....I am not going to imagine how bad it will be when I first come to nelson.....	powerover (12121)
1172049	2011-01-25 06:11:00	If I am correct, if I purchase a Garmin GPS unit I will have the benefit of free new map updates from NZ open GPS project am I right? I just download the map on my computer then somehow put it on my GPS right?? Can any other brands of GPS do that as well or is it just for Garmin?? Thanks heaps for the input guys, really appreciated :DGarmin only! - Simply download each friday from here and copy to your GPS - easy!: . org/forum/viewtopic . php?f=6&t=985" target="_blank">gwprojects . org	Scubadoo (16151)

I keep getting offers to update my New Zealand map for AU$79.95 (usually AU$99.95) till 31 Jan 11. In Invercargill I have worked out the shortest and easiest way to get to work using local knowledge. I tested the Tom Tom and it directed me to use a similar route which is more difficult. When doing what Tom Tom tells me I find myself having to unnecessarily negotiate stop and giveway signs. It does not send me down a shorter bypass route but directs me through the town centre. Invercargill I find is an easy place to find your way around using a map. Nelson is only slightly larger than Invercargill. I use my Tom Tom only when travelling out of town. This appeared in the Stuff site (www.stuff.co.nz)this morning.	Bobh (5192)
