I am in the same boat. Too cheap to pay $70 for new maps when a Tom-Tom is only $85. I am holding out for Garmin to start the “lifetime maps included” deal that I saw on a Tom-Tom at Sam’s club recently. I like the Garmin interface and want to stick with it.

At some point I may switch to the Garmin phone. Those look cool and run the Android OS

I ran into the same situation, I’d like to update my maps but then saw it would cost 100 for them. I paid 150 or so on clearance for my garmin.

I found maps via torrent though I haven’t had a chance to try them out.

how does the saying go…..there’s a hack for that. My brother in law is in the same boat, though. I think he is looking at the Magellan line of GPS’. Some of the models have lifetime updates on their maps. Not sure about their accuracy, reliability or user interface.

I use the TomT GPS on the IPhone. Only $49.99 for the US version in the App Store.
