Just been checking out the world map, and for all the Irish on line, it is a lot better than City Navigator for lots of the countryside.

Richie:

There are detail maps (City Select) available for some Asian countries, for example, Japan and Taiwan. You will have to do some research on the local Garmin websites (.jp, .tw, etc.) to get more info.

Ta for that Pan but for my purposes the World map will be good enough. Or maybe I'll see what is on offer for the seas as I'll be using it to map dive sites not for riding...

Only problem is that the Asian products use Asian language/character sets

Yea, but so do the road signs over there, so you can match them up to what you see on the screen of the GPSR.

As far as I know, though, the Asian products use the same lines to draw the roads, lakes and rivers as the North American products....

PS to Ace59: I was just in Poland two weeks ago, you can pretty much forget about using WorldMap, there have been too many new roads added. The European basemap is reasonably good, at least it's newer than WorldMap and supports autorouting (so if there is a difference between where the map shows the road, and where the road really is, it recalculates). I think Garmin will release detailed cartography for Poland this winter - there is already a Croatia product available.
