Imported Magellan Meridian GPS - Truckster and others who have units from USA

Hi guys

Am thinking of buying Meridian Colour GPS from USA. I have looked at the other threads on this subject but would appreciate any info re hassles and fixes anybody has had (only those who have imported from USA) re setting up the Meridians for Australian conditions e.g base map etc.

Have also looked at the Yahoo Meridian site.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. Have gone to the Mall27 site but can only find 64mb SDcard.

Is there another site that I don't know about where the same units can be bought.

Cheers

Thats genuine Magellan SD Cards, there are others out there, just search Google.com for billions.
www.ebay.com is another good source.

As a matter of curiosity, is the 8Mb Australian basemap that is available at http://www.navicache.com/meridian_basemaps/in colour? Is it the same as the one supplied with the Meridian Color sold in Australia?

Can't help there.

I will see if I can compare the basemaps when my GPS arrives from the states.

Cheers
