    Apparently the forum doesn't allow the discussion of downloading files etc due to it being 'illegal'... though dealer has quoted me $450 for the latest version, and another 'source' has mentioned that you can run TomTom software off the SD card in the RNS510.

    Does the RNS510 run Windows CE? How can you get TomTom on it?

    No need to download, if you are keen and live in Sydney and want to drive out to Camden (South West) I can drop my CD into your dash and load it for nothing.....

    Has anyone purchased a genuine RNS510 from ebay and successfully loaded AU maps onto it (legit or other). I've worked out if i get one off ebay I could save myself almost AU$1500...but it would come with EU maps

    I would have thought the maps would be tied to a single GPS unit (like Mio's and Tomtom's, I think the maps are usually locked to the serial number of the GPS or something to prevent copyright infringement).

    Cheers

    the maps are not paired with the unit.

    My brother had the previous RNS510 maps on his unit, I have the new RNS510 V2 maps, i simply put my DVD in his RNS and it upgraded the maps no problem.
