Hi all,

After spending £200 (US$350, AU$480) on Garmin's City navigator Australia I feel let down by the amount of data on the cd. The total in Mb on the disk is 57 (yes, fifty-seven megabytes in total). The USA City select that came with my Ique is 1.2Gb.

If I look at Alice Springs there are no names for the roads! This is repeated time and time again.

I know that Australia is sparsely populated but this is ridiculous.

This is version 4, if anyone has newer please let me know as I have only had it for two weeks.

Phil.

ps any more naff offerings like this that we should know about?

Not much detail to brag about in Alice Springs, no. It wasn't until Metroguide 5 that we got street names in the village where I lived in Sweden.
Australian Metroguide 4 is much better in Alice Springs. With that one I can even find Anzac Hill. Doesn't allow routing, though.
