Eclipse CD5000

I just bought an Eclipse CD5000 teh other and have a quick question about it. I know it has a very basic gps system on it, were you are to go on to eclipse site and access E-iSERV, where you can download Area Shot maps, then load them onto your deck via a cd-r or mem stick, and it will show then display a small map with arrow directions on the face of teh unit. now my question is, is there a way to still get these maps. i ask because on the eclipse site it says that the Area Shot service will no longer be used after July 2007, and i can;t seem to find anywhere on there site to get these maps. also tired to google to find more info and nothign came up.

so i want to know if anyone knows where to get these maps, or knows a a program you can get to generate maps to put on teh deck.

I would think that if they do not provide that service anymore, you will not be able to use that function any longer. I had the CD8455, and I used that a couple of times for kicks. I did not have the GPS module though, so I had to change the screens manually as I passed the points on the screen. I never really thought of it as being very useful as you had to upload the maps for every location, and if you diviated it would no longer be able to help you out.
