A: I just found out the hard way but none of the Garmin units carried at Best Buy US have Canadian maps loaded. I pulled into Canada (drove up from Seattle), and noticed the maps stopped loading. I just assumed they were included because the one I'm replacing from 10+ years ago has all of North America. I pulled into a Best Buy Canada and bought one there instead. I returned the one I bought in the US because the Canadian map download would have been $60.
