I live in Japan and do not have a navigator in my car. I don't want to spend $1500 to get an installed one either. This seems like a good option due to its portability.
I am very new to the GPS/Navi market, so I have a few questions that I was hoping that someone might be able to answer...
First off, I am ok in listening to directions in Japanese. That wouldn't bother me. Also, I can learn to enter an address or phone number in the system and program it.
What I was wondering is if this device comes with maps of Japan pre-installed or if I would have to download them myself. I was also wondering if I can bring this to the US and install US maps on it at some point in the future.
Any help or point in the right direction would be very helpful.
Thank you.

"My father-in-law is heading back to school in the spring and wants a laptop for Christmas. The only catch is their budget is around $400 and he does not want a netbook. He's not very "tech savvy" at all and doesn't need a hoss of a machine (not that $400 could get you one). We would like to get it for him as soon as possible and would love some input."
