    Has anyone seen these before => http://www.gpsoz.com.au/vms/vms_avnc.htm

    This idea of having in-dash navigation doesn't restrict the view like the other units that are mounted on the dash or from the windscreen.

    as a matter of interest and law.

    a dash top mounted GPS, mobile phone or other gizmo is illegal. There is a law about unrestricted view area. Nobody seems to get fined for it and I am sure sooner or later an insurance company will NOT pay up, due to restricted view causing accident.

    IN dash is by far the best option.

    As you said Phil, it'll only take time. What gets me is the cabbies with there units on the pillar and the gps units they play with whilst driving is ok yet being on the phone is distracting & illegal????

    Phill..
    In-dash is nice but exxy, though you can get them on ebay for $500 or less and you can play dvd's and hook up a reversing camera.

    I've got my GPS attached to the windscreen and it only obstructs the view of the bonnet and I can see all of the road over the top so technically it does not obscure my view at all! Helps to be 6'2 and having the D22 intercooler bonnet scoop, which just helps in the GPS not obscuring the road

    I have a Lowrance H20 iFinder handheld gps. Does anyone know if yo can get an SD card with offroad mapping that would work in this unit ?

    I think someone had one of these on pradopoint. You'll have to google for it.

    As said, they are expensive but do everything. There are similar on ebay for $500-700 but not sure they are as good - and obviously don't have the same sort of service/support.
