Damn! I wish I wouldn't have seen this.

Can you put both West and East US maps on the x51v at the same time if you havea 1gb card?

How well does the GPS unit track things? Does it have WAAS?

Can you upgrade the street maps on it?

Yeah, they come out with upgrades to the map every so often. If you buy the system close to a release, then they'll give you a free copy. Otherwise, the maps cost likes $500.

Keep in mind that no GPS navi system is 100% perfect, so it might take you the long way or even get you lost once in a while.
