ok, well the Aus maps a few others require a donation of 20 euro, but most of the other maps are free, have contour lines, good quality and using BaseCamp (free) from Garmin you can upload as many individual maps onto your unit as you have space.

just found this one too  
[Free worldwide Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap](http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/)

No topo lines but you can select bike specific at the top, then highlight the map tiles you want from anywhere in the world then request that map, its assembled and you get an email when its ready, download then just copy over to the SD card on your garmin, no programs needed, no fuss.
