Our Comment
Unfortunately it is no longer possible to get OSI 1:50K maps of the Republic of Ireland for this device from Garmin.
Currently the only handheld GPS devices on the market that offer OSI 1:50K maps of the Republic are the Active series
from Satmap.
If you need maps, we highly recommend the new Satmap Active 20 and it is definitely worth investigating further.
Click here for details on the
Satmap Active 20 or visit

to find out more about the company behind these award winning devices.
Please note that maps from Satmap will not work on Garmin handheld GPS systems.
