Hey all I've got a Garmin Nuvi 465T, of course it's got all the Europe stuff I need in it but has no N America maps.

Anybody got US & Canada on a file they can e-mail me, then I can stick it on an SD card & shove it in the slot for when I come over.

Car rental people want 9 bucks a day for navigation.

Wouldn't do any good, it'd have to be unlocked. My copy is locked to my Zumo 660.

Yea Garmin's maps have protections on them to prevent exactly what you are planning.

How long will you be here? What about a free phone based program like Waze? If your phone service won't rape you on the data, it would be worth it.

AH spit, Coming over for 10 days end of April Matt but the shipping would be more than buying a cheapo gps when we get there.

I'll have a look on Garmin's website & see how much for the mapping.

Have to say it's the first & last Garmin for me, I've not been at all impressed with it or the company.

You can probably pick up a tom-tom for cheap and survive ten days without tossing it out a window...

Couple of our big stores stateside are Best Buy (.com), WalMart, and Radio Shack - if you want to e-browse for some pricing.
