First...you would need the MicroSD card option...USB is for older model.
Secondly, they only have maps for Europe and CIS...not North America.

Too bad...$79 was a great price.

Kindof annoying when trying to find a road or place that wasn't there when the map was made, although rather humorous appearing to swim across a river on a bridge that didn't exist before either.

As discussed in another thread, would have figured that someone with decent data skills could figure out how they link themselves to the head units and replicate or unlock them.
