Maybe no-one was willing to pay for it, didn't have access to a card reader, or simply no time ;-)
The newer model Garmin units now hold multiple regions of NavData at once; so no more switching back and forth like the older units. Even the portable Garmin Aera 660 can be loaded with the European and North American charts at the same time (something that was an annoyance on older units).
