Looking to buy my first portable GPS for incar navigation.
Currently looking at the TomTom Go 300 or the Navman icn520

All GPS units sold in Australia seem to use the same Sensis WhereIs data, so
if you take Map information out of the equation, which has the best features
and reliabitly.

Things that are important for me are
* Easy to use and input data
* clear audio and on screen instructions.
* Abitity to input Speed and red light camera locations and have audible
alearts.

Also any other useful or cool feature i should look out for in a GPS unit
and any other units i should be looking at ?

Hey Subie! I have no experience with the Navman, but I have used the
TomTom GO 300 and it sounds like it's a great match for your
requirements. I found it super easy to use (like a 5 minute learning
curve) with very clear audio and screen. I know that you can put speed
cameras on the TomTom, but I don't know about red light cameras... I am
sure Darren might know. Good luck with your decision! :)
