On a more serious note, I like the idea/concept, and finally there is a viable gps/map application that stores maps on SD storage. ...although 20GB sounds kinda scary. I'm going to keep an eye on this one.
I see you are from: "Winnipeg MB Canada"

Do you have TOPOGRAPHY up there!!! I just looked at my Garmin TopoCanada and it seems a bit, well, flat. I drove across Canada in 1971 from NY to Vancouver and your area is not unlike our Kansas and Nebraska - pretty open. I kept looking for the Canadian Rockies - took a few days to finally reach them.

Apparently, you can select portions of map sets but as someone pointed out - it will get real pricy, real fast, if you want a few states. Some of my "southwest" trips have involved Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Estimating that would cost about $150.00. The Sierra, CA, another $50 and now home, WA, another $50 (ignoring Ore).
