Does it have an internal map or does it pull the map from another Garmin unit? The adverts are not clear on this.

thanks.
I have the Virb XE and everything that's now displayed is from the internal GPS and internal sensors, no separate GPS required for any of it. I only use my Zumo 590 to control the camera, which is pretty cool: I can start/stop video recording, take photos by using the camera controls on the Zumo display after linking the camera to it. So it doesn't matter where you mount the camera or wether you can reach it or not, you can control it while riding from the screen of the GPS. I wish it would also let you stream the image to the GPS though.

I made some 5 hours of video; I'll post more as I go through it.
