Canadian maps?

I'm Cdn with lots of Garmin experience. I would like to be able to check maps for accuracy and info before I make a purchase. Can this be done?

I've heard glowing reviews o CoPilot on the Miata forum, but I've been unable to find info on maps.

I've had:
GArmin gpsIII, III+, V, Legend, gps 10 deluxe, 3600, and my wife has a Nuvi 660.

Yes, ALK provide maps for Canada. Supposedly self-collected (not Navteq or Teleatlas).

There's no test version available however.
Here are the details

Thanks for the post.

When I bought my 3rd Garmin, I was truly disappointed with the Cdn mapping offered. I thought it would be a step ahead. Instead, the gps V came with maps of 4 cities and a base map that was a great void.

So I feel that we're really buying 2 products:
* a gps receiver
* maps for the area of interest.

Perhaps I'll finda friend with a unit I can try.

How about Destinator? They are Toronto-based.
