All of the GPS systems I've used have had complete maps of the entire US (and maybe Canada?) included. Additional cost to get maps for outside that area, though.


The Garmin 60csx Dan was talking about is primarily designed as a hand held device for hiking an the like. So you have to buy additional maps if you want to use it from on-road routing.

My eTrex Vista HCx can do the same thing, but I really wouldn't recommend it as compared to the TomTom for on-road routing. It doesn't make very good routing decisions, in the UK at least.

Dedicated devices for specific tasks still make most sense when it comes to GPS.
