I've read on the BMAA forum you can load aviation maps onto the Garmin Nuvi and that Garmin offer these maps free online. Has anyone see the results before I spend any cash?

I went to http://ukgarminairmap.wikispaces.com/latestfiles and loaded the files to my little Etrex legend no less. It's given me all the air stuff I need for no money at all! I wanted a slight upgrade to it as I do actualy have a chart!
After a bit of button pushing I manged to hide all the extraneous ground detail and get exactly what I needed. Gotta decide what to have for Christmas now as I'm not buying an aviation gps!

If you only wish to fly in the UK this NATS initiative being announced at SPLASH might help:
