Anyone know of any low cost maps to load onto a memory card in addition to software that is Geocaching friendly?

BTW, I purchased the Holux M1200 and so far I am impressed!
I use BeeLineGPS for geocaching. I use the map function but it just shows the location of the cache and where you are without an overlay of an actual map. It works pretty well and doesn't require an internet connection since you load the GPX files into it.
