Wow, great deal. I'll need one of those some day, but can't justify it right now.

I paid 200 for mine less than a year ago. It's an excellent GPS and a great deal

I don't know much about this device but a quick Google suggests that the price is quite good.

Anyone know if you can load Mapyx maps onto a Garmin device? (Not the routes/waypoints etc, I know that is possible, I mean the actual graphical maps).

I don't think so, I checked when I got mine and they don't seem to move across.

I'm seriously tempted by this, but would need to know if they take the talkytoaster maps first

I was but if they wont take a Mapyx map then I figure my current GPS is probably just as good.

There is the FAQ link. Not sure if you will get your answers but worth a try.

I'm only seeing this now but they do take the talkytoaster maps. I'm using them.

Did anyone go for this?
