Just wondering if there are any good websites which cater for Aussie GPS/satnav systems. I wanna buy one but haven't got much clue about them. I tried my mate's Voxtrack (quite old) and it wasn't too shabby- it got me where I wanted to go but I saw the limitations (eg. wants me to u-turn when i miss a turn, no option to go on roads with no tolls, no easy way to recalc route if there's an accident, asked me to do illegal turns several times, etc...)...

I heard Tomtom is pretty good.

Are there any good sites which review these things or any personal experiences?

Buy a car which has it as an option.

Personal recommendations:

BMW X5
Porsche Cayenne
Range Rover

And all other good vehicles :)

My job requires me to travel to client sites all around the place including places I've never been before. That, and whilst I like having a handy street directory, after using satnav yesterday (even though it was a crappy one), it made my life alot easier as I had to navigate to areas I had never been before- and roads had been closed.
