Yes we take our Garmin from home when we travel to Bali. We downloaded the Bali maps from Bali Navigator several years ago. I don't think you could hire a GPS in Bali the first time we hired a car. I don't know how the price of hiring one compairs with getting your own GPS loaded with maps for Bali. We upgraded the maps once within the 1st 12 months but have not bothered since. I don't think that they have been building too many new roads in Bali. Using our own GPS is also good as any places that we visit we save in favorites and we have them for next time.
If you do download the maps to your own GPS you can not access them while in Aust. You have to wait till you reach Bali. You just change the country you are in. I guess this is the same for any overseas country.
