OK – so I got impatient and bought a 705 and have now installed opensource maps from here http://talkytoaster.info/ukmaps.htm. They seem pretty good for free, am I missing any tricks here? Anything better out there?
Also, I thought I was going to have to buy a MicroSD card to "install" (ie. copy over) the map to but noticed that the onboard flash memory was plenty. Presume there's no problem there?
Lastly, is it possible to save more than one of these maps to the device? The file has to be called gmapsupp.img so presume you can only have one of those in the "Garmin" folder?
Thanks for help on this, pretty pleased with it up to now!
