In Australia, a set of new maps for most consumer GPS units is more than the cost of a (cheap) new unit. If you have a dash-mounted system, forget it.

I don't know if that's a global issue or the 'Australia tax', but I'll support any system which is up to date and doesn't cost me a stupid amount of money to remain current.

Not counting variations (though listed) and not counting embedded OS on devices I happen to touch (e.g. an ATM):

OSX (10.5-7)
Linux (CENTOS, RHEL, Ubuntu, Gentoo.. others)
Solaris 10
iOS (if i can open an shell on my iphone it it counts!)
