Navion R5000 Navigation Upgrade Question

I have a 2008 American Coach Tradition that has the Navion R5000 monitoring system installed. The unit has a separate Garmin interface for the Navigation. I've been trying to find information on upgrading the Garmin mapping on this unit. My question is, has anybody looked into this? Is it possible to upgrade or buy a new interface. I called Garmin but the gal I spoke with couldn't quite understand what I had or was trying to upgrade.

    I don't like the built in GPS in the R5000. So I bought a Garmin portable with a larger screen than the standard portable. Three big advantages over the built in...it has a touch screen, it can be moved and used in the toad and lifetime updates.
