Hey All,

I live in Perth, Western Australia
Im looking to hook up GPS in my car finally..
Im ive researched on GPS the last week and have a broad understanding of the technology available but am still unsure of a few things.
Finding maps is probably my hardest task so far because WA isnt too popular on the world scale :P.. but i found this
http://www.ja-gps.com.au/destinator.aspx

I also notice alot of you use the 353 GPS receiver which im guessing hooks up with USB 1.1

With the voice notification system on the software.. would that come out of the speakers if its hooked up via usb? also is there any better software available for australia other than wat ive found.
any ideas gr8ly appreciated..
is setting up the afforementioned hard? is the 353 compatible with Destinator3?

Destinator is alright but theres no PC version available yet, only Pocket PC (theres ways around this but good luck finding what you need)

Sound will output from your sound card; sound has nothing to do with the GPS reciever
