    Curiosity brought me to this thread: Do all the dealextreme units come with Australian maps or is it pot luck?

    I was also looking at , as they have some Winmo6 devices, but again, I don't know what maps they come with. there's some suggestion on the site that its just luck, in which case some hacking, or something like miopocket would be needed.

    I purchased one of the 4.3" 'Chinese' units DealsExtreme sell on Ebay, came with
    IGO8 and the 2008 Australian map

    Runs WIN CE5 and I've been able to get 9 navigation programs working on it off the one HCDC 4GB card using a different menu

    Fantastic little device for the price but battery life isn't overly flash

    Deal Extreme GPS's as advertised comes with igo8 and US maps. It's a lottery as to what other maps might be on the 2Gb SD card. Simply add your maps.

    WinCe 5.

    US adapter pinned 110 - 240 AC 5 v 2A.

    Quality is fine. Includes an AV in input.

    I've only tried a 4Gb SDHC, but should run much bigger.

    They're getting very cheap.
