I know this probably sounds a bit daft - but what happens when I run out of maps on my laptop based GPS ? I'm trying to find maps of Northern Canada - NWT and YK that will work with the earthmate GPS - delorme seem to be about as useful as a chocolate fire guard in this respect - so what should I see when I get to the end of the delorme map - presumably I still get a latt/long reading but just wanted to know

thanks

Jeff

Screen goes white, menus stay up and your coordinates are still displayed.
