You`ve inadvertantly brought up an interesting point here:

Per Garmins` site:

GPS V is $321.41 incl. city select maps* with full unlock
But City Select Europe is $349.99 on its own...

* Garmins` site only mentions one recommended price, despite there being
~$200 difference in what they charge for the US vs Euro maps

Either way, you`ve given some useful food for thought - I can get the V
in the UK for £261 whereas the maps alone would cost me over £200 to
import them from the US, so thanks again :-)
