There's software out there that will generate maps that you can load on your Garmin from the OpenStreetMap data: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin I've been doing this for my Garmin Oregon using mkgmap and have been extremely happy that I don't have to constantly shell out $$$ for maps. Plus with OpenStreetMap you can fix any issues with the map yourself rather than depend on someone else. I’d recommend checking out OpenStreetMap.
