Users can manually update this static map to keep data costs down. But even though this map will be outdated and light on features, it can still guide drivers when there’s no data coverage.

Google is not the source of their maps and never has been. Maps for Garmin come from MapSource, which comes from the US Census Bureau's TIGER files database which is public and free to all that know how to use the data. The same place Google, Delorme, MS, and all others get their map data. I know, I worked on the TIGER files database for 7 years as a mapper. David M – you are wrong sir.
