That's very interresting. The site sais:
"Dash includes maps for the United States (Continental US, Hawaii and 
Alaska) only. It will not work in Canada, Mexico, Europe or any location 
outside the United States."
Since when are Canada, Mexico and Europe in the United States? I thought 
I would live far away from the USA (Germany). ;-)
