Hi Dest@r
Welcome to roadguide, yes our standard map version 1.07 will take you home.It is a free map.
our map is compatible only to garmin gps model.
since you will be going home on december, plenty of time to read the How to sub forum.

you can still contribute data to our map by tracing polygons through Google earth, soon you will become a contributor and will have the benefits of our latest map version.

next time pls. post your comments and queries in English, our site is visited always by other nationalities and we have foreign members too.

hi destar,

welcome to roadguide.

i just would like to share with you some thoughts about what type of unit to buy... a nuvi series or a handheld models. both units can be powered by external source but powering it up by its own batteries, nuvi series can last only upto 5 hours while a handheld unit can last upto 15hours. you can not change the battery of your nuvi since it is enclosed in you unit. a handheld unit uses ordinary penlight or AA battery. in short, nuvi units are most efficient when used along side with a vehicle as a power source.

from here, i guess that would give you somehow a good backgound of gps unit to start with. really depends on your lifetyle, on where you want to use it, etc.

good luck in your unit
