Just want to vent my frustration, and warn others in the market for a GPS. I got a Garmin 265w a few months ago - it wasn't the newest device in the store, but not the cheapest either - I went for a sightly wider screen in an older model. Travelling to Kilkenny recently I found that most of the M9 was not on the map. I don't know how long ago the different sections were opened but I'm sure its more than a year before I bought the device. Now I go to update the maps so I can use it abroad and find that the update will cost an extra $90 because it's not a recent model.

So if you are getting a new GPS make sure you get a recent one, or at least get one with updates included.
