I'm looking to buy a gps unit as a gift. I'd like to know if anyone can recommend a brand/model similar to a TomTom or Garmin (or those if it can be done) that offers a method of uploading the maps or firmware without using Windows/Mac.
I'd also prefer if it wasn't running Windows CE.
Note that I use a Nokia N800 with the Wayfinder software that lets you download maps within the application or use wget and copy them over as described here http://www.navicoretech.com/Consumer/Support/Downloads/tablet/en_GB/wfnavigator/ which works great. The coolness of this unit would be lost on my retired parents though...
