Lynn, Garmin is your only source for Nuvi maps. It bites, but such is life.
As for operating in Spain, Spain is one of the European countries that participates in CEPT. See this link: http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/io/#cept The ARRL is the national organization in the states here to handle issuance of the CEPT certificate. In order to get a CEPT certificate, you need to be a General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra class operator. There is no equivalency in the CEPT certificates for US Novice or Technician licensees. US Generals are eligible for Basic CEPT, where Advanced and Amateur Extra US licensee are eligible for Full CEPT. The process is easy and painless, assuming you have a General or higher license. :) 73, Randy WF5X On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 9:52 AM, Lynn W.
