MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of GARMIN is to
provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography
that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination
of governmental and private data sources, which we identify (as
required) in product literature and copyright messages displayed
to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or
incomplete data to some degree. This is particularly true outside the
United States, where complete and accurate digital data is either not
available or prohibitively expensive.
