It inclues all the streat maps for canada and the US, alaska, hawaii and a lot of mexico.

I have used a lot of the car units and boat units and sense I had the lap top already it only cost $125.00 for the GPS receiver and the software and I would compare it to any $1000.00 car unit. you can log on to the INTERNET at "hot zones" and upgrade construction info also.
