>>> In the meantime i suppose a person could purchase a GPS that uses external media (60csx) and load everything you need before you leave.
If you mean importing calibrated non-MapSource/etc maps then this is what I was wondering too. It would be very handy to have them stored in a GPS instead of a vulnerable laptop. A GPS specialist seller just told me "no" and I'm just waiting to hear from Garmin tech.

Garmin's reply a few days later
Chris,
Thank you for contacting Garmin Cartography and thank you for being a loyal Garmin customer. Unfortunately, it is not possible at this time to load third party maps to a Garmin GPS unit. Only waypoints and some routes and tracks in a .gpx format. Hopefully Garmin will add this capability in the future but as of right now I do not know of any plans to do so. We do get lots of requests for it so they are aware that customers would like to have this as an option.
