  I purchased a Magellan Platinum recently for AUS$799 in Melbourne. It
  was imported by an unauthorised dealer! 

  If I had of done this myself I could have done it for under $550 inc all
  taxes and transport.

  As a knowledgeable GPS dude, I highly recommend the Magellan Gold. It
  lacks the magnetic compass, barometer, and thermometer, but it's
  substantially cheaper.

  It is NMEA compatible (3 Versions), it takes an SD card and I could help
  with the AUS LAND Basemap and AUS MARINE base map however required.

  I am also able to demonstrate the Discover Australia Streets and Tracks
  as I have purchased a copy, fully compatible with the above.

  It takes SD cards for region uploads and is an excellent unit.

  I am not disappointed.

  Feel free to negotiate deals via the web, you will prolly do better than
  myself.

  DO NOT BY A GARMIN PRODUCT!!!! IT HAS MAJOR INCOMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS
  WITH STANDARD MAPPING SOFTWARE AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTRY AND NMEA.

  I will help with softwarz

  Regards

  Devon

  Where can I buy a GPS receiver in Australia and for how much?  Do you
  guys use these for wardriving?  What other equipment do you use - i.e.
  antennas/wireless cards etc. ?  I've got a car, now I just need the rest
  of the stuff :)
