Havn't kept upto date with what's avalable now, GPSOZ are here in monavale and you will get expert advise there,to suit your needs, rather than your local dicksmith store ??? http://www.gpsoz.com.au/ (http://www.gpsoz.com.au/) Johny appleseed is another gps specialist shop .one in nth Sydney, though am not sure on what advice you would get there ??? http://www.ja-gps.com.au/ (http://www.ja-gps.com.au/) Gps Australia is a good forum with plenty of info.plus they sell gps as well http://www.gpsaustralia.net/ (http://www.gpsaustralia.net/) Title: Re: Handheld GPS Post by: mattyvas on June 03, 2012, 04:02:00 AM I don't have a handheld but I can say that the service from Garmin on my unit was excellent.
So if you want a company that does care about it customers and reputation in the market place I can say that Garmin do car. |
