Default Can I get a satnav that does all this?

Have never been that interested in Satnavs - more than happy to get lost about once a year in the car and use sheer skill (and a real map) to get unlost..

...but am going on a big trip soon and was wondering if I can get one that will do a good job in UK for driving as well as:
- UK - mountain biking and countryside walking
- China - Beijing walking and Beijing -> Hong Kong touring
- Hong Kong - walking
- Australia - Sydney walking and driving, Blue Mountains driving, Cairns walking and Great Barrier Reef sightseeing
- NZ - North and South Island driving
- Fiji - doing nothing! OK then - Marlin fishing, windsurfing etc etc.

I can't see anything that fits the bill...

TIA, Martin

You can certainly get a Garmin and purchase (or download ) additional maps. Not sure about Fiji though ....

Have a look at the Garmin Nuvi 550.Have only looked at the spec briefly but it may fit your bill when downloaded with the relevant maps...

Mio digiwalker gives you all the footpaths and cycle tracks for europe, not sure about the rest of the world availability on the maps.
