I just read the garmin software site and there is a new upgrade for the map60C

Most new GPSrs have more than adequate memory these days due to the fact map data is in a vector format......

The GPSMAP60 C/S has 54mb from memory......Metroguide Australia takes up ~44mb, for the whole of Australia ....... I have also Bluecharts (marine charts) for Townsville to below Rockhampton which only takes up 4 mb.....

If you want to look at the quality of the Metroguide Australia, take a look at http://www.garmin.com/cartography/ and select the MA from the Mapsource Map Viewer area.......

do the metroguide maps allow you to use the turn by turn navigation feature on this model??

Mapsource Metroguide Australia - NO
Mapsource City Navigator - YES

However for us regionalites who find that the roads have too many potholes to drive on anyway, MA is much better

MA will let you find street addresses for alot of the major towns/cities in AU.... though my house is out by 1 property

Check out http://www.ja-gps.com.au/garmin_mapping.html for some more info.......
Also http://www.ja-gps.com.au/maps_citynavig_maps.html for CN5 coverage to see if you are covered

BTW the turn-by-turn route calculation feature (for CN5) is a visual indication as well as a user-defined tone/beep.......no (sexy, feminine) voice guidance
