Yes, they will install just the maps.
They charge US$40 or RD$1400.

I think Omega Tech are doing a deal right now, full maps of the DR including the Garmin GPS for RD$4,000 You should contact them, but that's what I heard.

If true, that is an amazing deal for here!!!

the sells person at the sirena told my friend that these gps from ola.com do not have the map of santiago that they only carry the map of La capital Santo Domingo

thanks to my friend he did ask the sell's person what maps were uploaded in the GPS
for 370.00 dollars and only the map of Santo Domingo that is a lot of money

but my complaint is really is the false advertisement on there web-site

So it's only for Santo domingo! They should have one for all the country, I would get one right away.
