I bought a Nuvi 260 and it didn't come with any CDs. Can someone help me get started on creating a map and uploading it? I will be in Kathmandu for the next few months and ideally I would like to scan or download a map for the city and upload it to the unit (if that's possible). Is this the right approach? Thanks for any help.
