I'm also in Canada . I recently purchased the 4100 for about 625 plus the usual Eco, HST,. I have friends who have the 260 add on and have no issues with it. I also considered the 5100-8100. All things considered when I factored in the additional cost of updating the maps each year I could buy a new garmin each year for less!! Besides I have an android ( google maps). Also check out Amazon.com , yes the U.S. site. They sent me info today saying the 4100 could be had for 499 u.s. Plus about 48 for shipping. Even converted it's less than here. I purchased mine from "Gibbyselectronicsupermarket.c
