**Moby58** · 11-21-2008, 02:03 AM

Hi Guys,

Anyone here using RoadRunner, with a GPS program, and using Australian maps??

Or anyone know what I could use?

Have got Sygic GPS Navigation working with RR, but it doesnt have Aussie maps (and it;s a long drive to Europe just ta see how well it works :-)

Regards,

Moby

your options are destinator or oziexplorer. There are others, but these programs can be easily integrated into RR. Search for Freedrive or Map monkey for destinator integration

OK, my understanding is you need to use Destinator v3. However, I am guessing, that there probably aint very up-to-date maps that work on Destinator v3??

And I think OziExplorer is more suited for off road, and does to turn-by-turn autorouting

Doent suppose there is a PDA emulator that integrates into RR and runs TomTom

you can use later maps with D3. You can also use D6 with RR.

Your right, Ozi explorer doesn't have turn by turn, but you can use any map you like. Even topo maps. It's and option and it's cheaper than everything else.

There are PDA emulators. You may even be able to get tom tom working in RR, but I don't know of anyone who has done it.

Email them for them and see if they will send them to you.

I think you have to purchase them from Sensis and then let Sygic know you have purchased them and they will send them to you.. or something like that.
Send them an email and they will tell you the deal.

Yep, I have Garmin Vista hand held, with Australian maps.

HOWEVER, when people here talk about using Garmin, what actual software are they using??

The Garmin Australia doesnt list any PC software, anly hardware devices.
