  Sounds cheap and a bargain, but "for one hour only tonight between 7-9pm." ?

  Is this any better than iOS 6 maps ?

  • 

    ilikebargains on 27/09/2012 - 16:55

    my melway is better than my iOS 6 maps, at least the melway tells me the suburb name.

    i can't comment on this model GPS, i have a Nuvi 50 and a higher end model

      my melway is better than my iOS 6 maps

      but didn't Apple source their map data from the link below ?

        no idea. But like i said, the Melway (and google maps) both show suburb names.

        but this thread is about the Nuvi 30, plenty of other forums to argue about Apple.

        There's one feature IOS6 maps have and that it's ability to view across parallel dimensions.

        Take that, Garmin fanbois.

  Seems like navigation tools are more necessary since Apple launch iOS 6.

  I have used a Garmin in the past, worked really well. But now I have a Nokia phone, and its maps are brilliant.

  what about maps update? Do they provide any free maps update in following years?

  • 

    ilikebargains on 27/09/2012 - 17:10

    it's unlikely you'll get many updates at that price

    from memory their policy was, if an update is released within three months from your purchase date, you get that update free. Double check that though.

    Unfortunately Garmin currently only has lifetime map update bonus for Nuvi 40 and 50 if you purchase before 30th September. If you buy this Nuvi 30 in New Zealand then you can get the lifetime map update bonus.

    I was lucky to get the Nuvi 50 from recent Jbhifi sale for $70.40, plus that map bonus :)

      lifetime map update bonus

      who's lifetime though?

      • 

        edfoo on 27/09/2012 - 17:52

        Not yours or mine of course. The GPS's lifetime that is :D

  Just install Sygic maps on your android phone ($?) no internet required to use, most up to date and detailed sat nav i've used.

  • 

    edfoo on 27/09/2012 - 17:51

    Sygic costs USD$33. If you only want Australian map on your smartphone, get MetroView instead for AUD$20.

    Navfree is well….free. In terms of routing it is inferior to a dedicated Garmin GPS but it does the job OK for a free appplication.
