I've tried a bunch of different GPS methods including pocketPC w/ bluetooth reciever.. out of everything, I like the ready-made units the best.. I have a garmin 2620 right now, which has been great for me.

On the same note though, I know of people who havent had any issues with the PocketPCs.. and the nice thing about them, is you have an array of maps to use. If it has maps available for NZ, I'd recommend checking out TomTom navigator software for the PPC.
