Thing about named makes though is that backup service is there, not just tomorrow but next year, couple of years ago my mate downloaded shonky 3rd party cheap maps etc. into his nearly new Garmin satnav, sent it back to Garmin saying it had stopped working, was back within a week all sorted, no bill even though it would have been obvious what he had done to the tech.
I once sent an Edge1000(cycling) back to Garmin with a clearly unlocked and up-to-date City Navigator mapset on the sdcard.

They took the card out, put it into a new unit and sent back to me
