Usually the GPS tries to stream maps over the air, which costs a fortune. Fortunately they provide a piece of software which allows you to load maps directly onto a memory card. Unfortunately, it's one of the least usable applications I've ever come across. The biggest problem, and this is HUGE, is that when you add a new map, it deletes any existing ones. So, picture the scene, I live in the UK, and was traveling to New York. So the night before I left I loaded maps for New York State. Fine. Then, the morning after when I tried to navigate to the airport, the UK maps were gone! And to make matter worse, it's a non-standard Windows application, so all the buttons and controls look different (I can see no good reason for that), and there's no OSX version. The PC suite is just as bad (fortunately I can just use iSync on OSX, which is much easier). It could be worse, I’ve got a Nokia N95 which has built in GPS.
