That's the difference between a $150 GPS and a $500 unit. When paying $500 you'll get a lot of bells and whistles including maps worthy of using. I also question the enormous price of some of these maps. It seems they have the attitude of if you want it, you'll pay. But is there an alternative?
"It's pretty much a complete fail, other then that it's a really good product" -ROTFL
But seriously, a good lesson learned I hope. First find out what you need and do your homework. And as always for navigation, learn how to use a map and compadd first.
man problem is you haven't researched what's available and what you buy. so your fault. your gps haves only 24mb onboard, no memory card slot. not mentioning 14hrs battery life. i got eTrex Legend HCx - no onboard mem, but mem.card slot. memcard was included in the box, but for few more bucks i got bigger one. got official Toronto and other cities maps from Garmin $10 each. contain city roads, trails, POI. i also go geocaching. i simply love the unit! 25hrs bat.life. i'm not gonna buy newer soon

take an open source map, and put the .img data in a folder called: garmin
and then put the folder on a micro sd card and then in your venture
