GPS for France Trip

I have a Garmin Street Pilot 2720 that I love but we are taking a trip to
France for a one week canal trip and I would like to have GPS maping
available. I could load software on my PC and use an external GPS which I
have or get maps for my Street Pilot.

It looks like the most cost effective option might be to purchase something
like the Nuvi 270 that has preloaded maps and then sell it on ebay when I
return.

Would this be a good choice or does anyone have any other suggestions or
options?

thanks
Frank

If you were staying on the canal, then just loading a bunch of POIs
along your route would be the cheapest solution. Not as good as maps, of
course, but it may do what you need.
