personally i doubt if you can fulfil all the conditions listed below
unless you are willing to pay can$1,500 for a 2620
>I currently own a Garmin GPS V and I am looking to update.
>Features I am looking for:
- Large Colour Display
- Full Street Level Map Detail of Canada, not just metro area's (I am
happy
with the coverage of Garming MapSource v6)
- Full North America Map Unlock
- Expandable Memory
>- Hopefully, a method to install a mount permanently in the vehicle
(even a
>separate order mount). A mount that could be permanently hooked into
the
vehicles electrical system but still have the gps unit itself
detachable for
>theft protection. I hate cigarette lighter cords running across my
dash and
ugly window mounts.
>Considering:
>Garmin c320, when it is released. It sounds pretty close to what I am
looking for and I know what to expect with their map coverage.
it is nowhere close to what you would need
it only accepts standard Garmin data cards and pre-programmed data
cards
i suggest you check the price of a 512 mb garmin card
>Magellin Roadmate 300. Display looks great but their website says
they only
have limited Canadian coverage. I thought they Magellan and Garming
got
>their maps from the same place?
it is only pre-loaded with major roads only
it says it has sd card expension
i really doubt they allow you to put in a new 1 G sd card ($79 at
newegg.com) in it fully loaded with map - there is a big catch
somewhere
very likely they have limitation on the hardware side
>Question:
>With SD card units, can I later change my SD card? i.e. upgrade from
a 128
>eg card to a 512 meg card? Or am I looking at some sort of licening
>issues?
there is not much of a licence issue in here
it only boils down that they need to sell you more full price unit
like 2620 or roadmate 700
