TomTom isn't off-road enable until you use TTMaps which uses the gpx format. I have it loaded it on my XL One using a SD card. Works will

Thanks, my next question would be where do i get the ttmaps from, i found a site but im not sure if it is the right one, i couldn't find any map that looked like it was for Australia

To download TTMaps go to ttMaps

TTMaps uses ECW formats which you can download maps from Maps of Australia - Geoscience Australia which are 250,000:1 which is ok when driving long distances. You would need 25,000:1 or better to be useful. The good thing you can swap maps on the fly by zooming. I used the 250,000:1 for road trips and 25,000:1 when on location. I live near Algester/Calamvale and can show you it working. The next GPS will be able to run OziExplorer CE.

Some useful links.
