Might try sci.geo.satellite-nav. Lots of people knowledgeable about nuts and
bolts there. Bob Gardner "jad" wrote in message ...

Check to see if there are Australian airports in the database already. When I took my ancient Garmin 195 to Australia (with the North America maps), it worked just fine. The coast line and all the airports were in the database. As our Aussie tour guide pointed out there isn't any ground features to chart in most of the continent anyhow.
