So it means that it is possible to put any maps on my device, not only
roads?

I'm living in South Tyrol, it's in the Dolomiti Mountains, north of Italy+
south of Austria.

Yes as others have said, it is possible.

I see on http://www.garmin.it/cartografia_topografica.htm
that there is a trek map that covers at least part of the Dolomiti
Mountains.

This covers te whole area I'm interested in. It's availabel only on the
international version of the website...
There's a trial-version for download too.. so I'm gonna try if it works on
the 1490T.
I'm a bit confused because my device is not in the compatibility-list... and
I don't understand why.
