computer with a generic usb GPS receiver
run this program "GPSGate" it emulates and gps to pretty much any other format. ($40US)

get the program nRoute from garmin (unpack the garmin stuff like you would a zip file with winrar, then run the main.msi, that gets around the device detection)

get the map loading program mapsource from garmin
http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...ils.jsp?id=209

get the free maps from here for nz
http://mapcenter2.cgpsmapper.com/mapsetview.php?id=185

get the POI (point of interest) LOADER HERE
http://www8.garmin.com/support/downl...ils.jsp?id=927

get the POI - speed camera info from here
http://www.gme.net.au/garmin/custom_POIs.php

does anyone know of any skins or something for nRoute and/or roardunner,

I was looking for the same thing few years back (also in NZ) and only solution was to run Navman maps in a pocket pc emulator. This didn't look promising so I didn't go ahead with it.

One of the main reason I held back on a carputer is the lack of navigation, until now hopefully.

How good is the free map? Can you post some screenshots?
