In the garmin updater, they offer you the ability to download specific regions of maps that you wish to downoad. Each region is around 1.5-2 gigs of memory. You do have the option to download all maps so it would be the the number of regions multiplied by 2 gigs.
Feel free to resubmit the question if you didn't find it useful.
