Hey Rob Garmin  or Magellan, is probably the most used Gps for that type of thing.
Havn't kept upto date with what's avalable now, GPSOZ are here in monavale and you will get expert advise there,to suit your needs, rather than your local dicksmith store Huh?

Johny appleseed is another  gps specialist shop .one in nth Sydney, though am not sure on what advice you would get there Huh?

Gps Australia is a good forum with plenty of info.plus they sell gps as well

I don't have a handheld but I can say that the service from Garmin on my unit was excellent.
So if you want a company that does care about it customers and reputation in the market place I can say that Garmin do car.
