Hey, Just noticed the map has the initial route down on the Hume Hwy?? That's pretty crappy, why don't we go via the Shire ;). I really cbf driving all the way to Wollongong before meeting up with people... Edit: Maybe a route like this: http://tinyurl.com/482c949 :D

Getting nice and close now :D What's with all the damn maybes? Com' on, guys :P

The relay goes right down deep behind the air conditioning controls under the radio.

I've spent the past little bit making up a Corolla image for the GPS. I couldn't find any Corolla text images or vectors large enough for the 800x480 image so I've spent the past 2 hours here at work ( :P ) blowing up a tiny one and tidying up the jagged edges that resulted. I'll finish the rest of it on the train or once I get home. http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/5/imag0076df.jpg I've got another tiny graphic that has the new 'Corolla' style writing. It'll take me a bit longer since it was a smaller image to begin with - so I did the older style one first.

Nah, I had an SD card from an another unit. Just didn't have any maps to suit this higher resolution screen. The other screen was 480x234 and this one is 800x480 - much much much better! I found the software online and then had to fiddle with the sys.txt file to get it going. I couldn't find maps that would work with it, though. Every time I loaded up it would say maps out of date. Eventually I found some and got it going. I'll definitely be putting these on there tonight though :) How long does your unit take to find a GPS lock? Mine didn't lock at all in the 5minute drive to the station whereas my old one was always inside a minute. I did notice (afterwards), however, that in the instructions it says to peel off the sticker on the back of the GPS antenna and stick it to some metal on the car. I didn't do that - I just taped in between the air con vents. How did you attach yours?

Dutchie, you're awesome! I owe you one :D I actually got it going last night but I didn't have the terrain that you mentioned. What does it add to it? I bought it from autodvdshop - or whatever it's called - and it makes no mention of an SD card.

Hey all, my GPS arrived today. I love it, except for the fact that it didn't come with an SD card, and therefore any maps. The rapidshare links all seem to be down. Does anybody mind uploading their sd card somewhere? :D

For towing you won't be looking at the power a vehicle has, at least that value by itself anyway. You're more interested in the amount of torque produced and for that you can do a search on www.redbook.com.au for the vehicle you're interested in. Under the specifications section you should see, among other things, the numerical values for power (kW) and torque (N m). One of the aforementioned 'other things' is a towing capacity, given in terms of braked and non braked loads.

Oh yeah! Count me in for sure! Should be a great weekend! :D. Oh, and Pete, I'm in for any route testing you might have planned - just make it a Sunday :P

Amen to that :D Almost 2 years and 40,000km on - looking like new :)

Where did you guys go?

I have my phone cradle over to the right of the steering wheel - stuck on that window in the A pillar.

Oh nice, link?

Although it isn't a documented feature, I was able to work out how to get radio/CD/A2DP/whatever playing while displaying the GPS screen. I want to post a full review soon.
