I have it for free and have only used it one time on my GPSMAP 66 and turned it off.
Will stick with free Topo maps no need for Birdseye.....

Dear, guru! Life is the game. For some widespread territories there are not any actual and precision maps. The cost does not matter because no one has these maps - official sources, Garmin, Here, Google, Bing... Russia for example. Oops! Accidently I find actual maps on XXX (on one of above-mentioned source). I am a lucky man! I am sure that my ass will be safe. I paid Garmin in good faith for the device and the warranty (if I bricked it). It is my goodwill to modify it. I ready to buy ready to use solution, but Garmin does not need it obviously due to lack of commercialization in my case. So I play with open cards. I do not understand why you prevent me to do it?!

P.S. No doubt, AlexWhiter (RIP) has injured thin and vulnerable soul of Garmin. But he gave the Garmin a big piece of cake too. Particularly in Russia where is not an official representative. Who gives you a right to judge? I can assume what you want to do not have problems for the forum with Garmin. But you kill the forum as a sacred place. Which judgment is right?
Maybe you will blame me for 140 km per hour on unpaved roads?
