I have a 200W and am curious if there are any other sources of maps than Garmin. And can they be loaded with the SD flash?

Maps are proprietary to the manufacturer. (ie Magellan maps can't be used in a Garmin.) And you can't, for example, load maps from National Geographic products to a Garmin.
You either have to purchase them from Garmin or get maps that were specifically designed for Garmin.
