Sometime I've got to update my old Garmin.
It still works ... but a good one with mapping would be nice.

What I'm wondering is - just how good are these downloadable maps?
I went onto the Garmin web site (which I think is not well designed), and they do have a world map that can be downloaded. But that's not exactly highly specific. Suppose you are on the street in Karachi, Buenos Aires or Nairobi. It should be possible to get city maps from around the world that are downloadable. However, I don't see anyone who is offering this feature. In fact, ironically, it's probably more in the realm of the driving (nav) GPS's than the personal handheld models.

Doesn't really make sense - since Google Earth has got all this info in it. Seems like somebody could be doing a better job out there.
