Map update for Axim GPS

Hi All,

I have an Axim X51v with the Bluetooth GPS receiver. Looks like since Dell stopped supporting the Axim, there's no more map updates from Navteq. Is there any way to get new maps on the Axim? Perhaps third party stuff? Otherwise the GPS is very limited. The newest maps are about two years old.

Thanks.

Yes the updates are availiable directly from Navteq
but it will cost you for them.
Google Navteq.

I tried that. From navtaq.com they direct you to their store at Navteq - Maps for your Dell GPS Navigation System, which as June 2006 maps. That's pretty stale as maps go, and they still want $99 for them.
