Wow cool!!!

I wonder if I can put this on my Nuvi 205W? Then I can forget this HH PC and GPS setup.

Or I wonder if I can use this on my Hammer Head PC with Mapsource.

Edit: I e-mailed them for some more info.

Sweet!!!!! I think i am going to give this a shot when I get the truck back on the road. Will be great to just have one unit but still a much bigger screen than the hand held units.

Hi Jeremy,
Yes our maps do work on all of the Nuvi units that have SD card slots. I actually personally use a Nuvi myself and would recommend using our maps on them. Call me direct if you have any more questions. I am sure you will love the new maps on your unit.

Thanks,

Sweet!! And even better that you can load it via SD card to your Nuvi which is a very common accessory for road use.

Nice find Axel... and nice research info Jeremy!!

Yeah it will be great!! I'm going to keep my eyes open at MEC and see if I can get it any cheaper if they carry it. I will load it on my Nuvi and new (to me) GPSmap 60C.

I'm now GPSed to the max!
