Temporary Maps available for Garmin?

I have a Garmin Vista Cx, and own the map for the United States. In about two months I'll be taking a business trip to London England and would love to be able to have a map for the trip. I can geocache without a map, lots of people do, but for walking around town and not getting lost I'd really like a map.

 

Are there any options other than buying the European MapSource map? I don't want to spend $100+ for a map that will only be used for a week.

I've wished for a similar product where you can pay, say, $20 to get a map that would cease to work 30 days after it has been activated. Hmm...renting a mapping GPS might be an alternative although I don't know if anyone does that, yet.

I have also wished for the same thing. I just got back from Mexico yesterday. Was really wanting to have maps for this trip, but didn't want to spend so much $$ for a 1 week deal.

You could try getting hold of a copy "Roads & Recreation UK" or "Metro Guide UK".

 

These have reasonable road maps of the UK and do not need an unlock code.

 

They don't 'Autoroute' though if I recall correctly.

 

There is a way to copy the maps to your hard drive but I can't remember how it's done now! :laughing:

Consider this: If you haven't ever been there, do you think the price of the maps would be a good value if it significantly increased your enjoyment on the trip and helped you to maximize the time you have there?

 

Good ideas on finding the non-auto-routing options.
