Anyone with a Garmin handheld?

I was just wondering if anyone had a garmin handheld, and if they had purchased any additional maps for them? Garmin wants 135 for them and microsoft makes ones for 40...that say they are garmin compatable but I have heard that story before...

The only maps that you can load into the Garmins (or Magellan, for that matter) are their own maps. When Microsoft or DeLorme say theirs are compatible, it means that you can hook up that brand of GPS into your laptop computer and interface with the software's map (i.e. show your position on the map and give point-to-point driving directions).

HTH.

I just dropped 250 on updated maps for my Pioneer Avic D2. A buck-35 sounds nice to me.

okay so you are saying you only buy factory ford parts? You have never bought anything but factory spark plugs, and factory windshield wipers.
