I used my garmin oregon 550 in the car on the way to Canberra yesterday.
Messed up a bit because i hadn't put a routable map on it, so had Navit on
the netbook on the passengers seat to assist me.

Guys,
It may be good to give also an update on the whole chapters thingy on this

There has been a number of people reporting that they have been stoped
