Garmin charges A LOT for maps

[exhilaration]

You know what sucks? Spending $200 on a nifty Garmin GPS unit only to find out that you have to spend another $200 on detailed maps.

The Garmin Legend came with a "basemap" of major highways and major roads, but there are no detailed streetmaps cuz you gotta buy Garmin's CD's for that.

This new unit it pretty expensive, but what how much do you have to spend for the friggin maps?

You know what else sucks? People who can't read linked information before commenting on it.

Right on this page, on the lower left it plainly says that the "MapSource(TM) City Select CD with full unlock" is included, in either North American or European versions, as well as the basemaps.

If you don't believe that page, follow the link from the North American version to here, where it also says "MapSource(R) North America City Select v4.01 now includes full coverage for the contiguous United States and expanded coverage for Canada. This updated product (with access to all regions at no extra charge) is included with the purchase of a Garmin(R) GPS V Deluxe or iQue 3600."
