It plays and displays the same and costs about $50 less!
Good info on the cable for under $3..
We plugged in a 16gb usb stick $18 full with her favorite music..

When they get maps from Whereis (the company I work for!) but I imagine it takes time to put it all together in an image when they receive/request map updates. I've given the contents of my SD card to one of the guys here who works in the mapping business unit to see if they can put the latest maps onto it for me. I'll let you guys know how that goes ;)

That's poor. Can't be that out of date, date could be wrong.
