The one I use is for the whole US, ~$500 per year. It uses an SM card which you can still buy over the internet, your home computer will have to have an SM card slot for the 28 day updates. The terrain database requires the units to be sent in. Cobham sent me the following information as regards my inquiry about the terrain database: Unfortunately, updating Terrain databases with the IDU-I is a bit difficult. This is because the terrain database is typically 250-300MB in size and the largest SmartMedia card is 128MB. Due to the self-extraction program that we use, it is difficult for us to break the terrain database into smaller parts that can fit on a card. In most cases, the Terrain database is updated by sending the unit(s) back to the factory and the memory is removed from the unit and updated through a separate process. While the 2007 Terrain does contain additional databases that make the terrain more accurate, the 2004 Terrain is still valid and is accurate enough to meet TAWS requirements. Hope this helps.
