910 alternatives for North America and European mapping?

[jazzist]

Dear All,

I am looking for a new sat nav device, and would like one with European and North American (including Canada) maps.

I've read about all the problems with the 910, but can't find an alternative all in one unit. I don't want a PDA, I've just sold mine recently, I'd prefer a more integrated solution, preferably with a bluetooth car kit (but this isn't essential).

The Nuvi looks great, but is only available with Uk maps (£250) or European maps (£350), but for the price of the 910 I could almost buy the north american nuvi AND the european one!?

I've just got a Garmin 60csx at work, I could borrow this when I need it for navigation. But I would prefer to have a dedicated unit with voice prompts, especially as that is what I am used to and I have a bit of money having sold my PDA. And.. the garmin map dvd's are nearly as expensive (city navigator, etc) as a sat nav unit.

If you know of any alternatives or have any thoughts please let me know.

thanks.

hmm... just found this..
"Yes, you can use both European and US maps at the same time. You can get the nuvi with one map set pre-loaded, and then add additional maps on a removable SD card.

I don’t know how the price differs for the unit between the US and European version, but Garmin sells the US map set for about $150, and the full European set for $420, so it seems you’d be better off buying the European unit and adding the US maps on the memory card."
