Garmin also sells a NA/EU lifetime map code for $120, which might be worth it.
Thanks in advance.
From the Garmin "Map Updates" page:
http://www8.garmin.com/updatemaps/
"The updates you receive under the subscription will be updates to the same geographic map data originally included with your Garmin product when originally purchased."
Suggest that the question be presented to the companies he might be interested in.
