Just a heads-up: please be aware that all INGIT foreign country maps have all object names (towns, rivers etc.) translated to Russian, and when they are converted to Garmin format, they have to be transliterated back to Latin letters. The result of Latin-Cyrillic-Latin conversion sometimes is very far from the original, for example Zurich becomes Cyurikh, Saint Gervais Les Bains becomes Sen-Zherve-Le-Ben, etc. This may render the map unusable.
