Fugawi Global Navigator and NATMAP (Australia)

[RS]

I used Fugawi Global Navigator with NATMAP Raster Premium (1:250000 Australian government maps) on a recent trip to Australia, running on a Toshiba e800 WM 2003 SE and with the GPS input over a serial connection to an eTrex Vista. Worked fine, to complement maps from the Australian edition of Metroguide on the Vista.

Ok this December - January im off to AUS/NZ with the family for the trip of a lifetime. Im looking for Handheld GPS & Maps to cover us for

1. Boat Charter around the whitsunday islands (require full NAV Charts)
2. Car navigation from Brisban - Sydney
3. Car Navigation in NZ

Looking for any advice on what charts/maps to purchase for a Garmin 60CSX which ive decided is the unit for the Job. Also i will be taking a Sony Vaio to hook upto.

Also require advice on buying the Garmin 60CSX.

Looked on the net and various options open for purchase of 60CSX, can get from UK (expensive), US (cheap,but USbase mapsloaded) or Aus(cheap, AUS base maps,cheap, but may take a while to come).

Any recomendations on where to buy from?

1. Do i need to buy from Aus for the unit to work down under?
2. Are the basemaps important if im buying others to use?
3. does anyone bother to much about the basemaps?
4. if i buy non UK model do i still get support over here

Sorry for all the Q's, any advice much welcomed.Ok this December - January im off to AUS/NZ with the family for the trip of a lifetime. Im looking for Handheld GPS & Maps to cover us for
