  Glad to see that I'm not the only one who uses the UBD (took ages too).  You 
are aware of their errors?  Their country towns data is really bad.

  If you're interested, I've converted their street and facilities lookup 
database to Ozi namesearch format.

  I've added a bunch of other data as well.  I update and correct it as people 
send me corrections (and as I find them myself).

  It's not bad actually.  Quite useful as long as you don't go more than one 
arm's length away. (preferably closer).  I used to have mine velcroed to the 
rearview mirror (in the ute, the back was piled up to the top, so I wasn't 
missing anything by obstructing the mirror anyway).

  On the motorcycle, I'm using a handlbar mount, (was home made) but I'm still 
looking for a sturdy commercial mount that doesn't cost a mint.

  That's the one that I had seen.
