Expensive, but the Hema Navigator is great. Have had mine for about 9 months now and so far, it has done everything I have wanted. Has both 'off road' and street nav software ( Ozi and Route66 )

Have a look at their website

RodW system is the best I have seen. Check out http://www.youtube.com/my_subscripti...asthead=1&as=1

If that is out of the solution, VMS and Hemi. VMS made the Hemi unit and have recently made a new model

I have a cheap Garmin nuvi 255 - $195 from JB hifi
you can get extra offroad maps cheap enough and legitimately free to plug into the micro SD slot.
works a treat

cheers
