Garmin GPSMAP 296 and changing map databases
Hi,
I am in the process of buying a portable GPSMAP 296 GPS system in the states, but I will be flying in Europe and East africa the most. I have been searching online to see if it is possible to upload a map of EUROPE/AFRICA (I can purchase these online at garmin.com). In other words, I would like to use my garmin handheld in the US as well as in EUROPE/AFRICA. I am not sure that all the features will be available, but that is not the most important. I just want to be able to use (= upload) the maps I can download from the garmin site.
If this is not a possibility, what would you guys advise me...
This is all a bit new for me, so maybe I am not making sense, but if anyone has any tips, I would be greatly thankful.
Cheers.
Guy
