Hello Lucien?,
I am not French and unfortunately my french is very limited...
But to answer your questions:

1) no, it is no stupid idea
2) a Europe Map is provided with GPSMap which is now freeware for us
you can find both at Unna
3) Route 66 is nice but NOT compatible
4) you can create your own maps for GPSMap
5) I do not know the AQ-Max, but the main issues are:
- power supply (if external, no problem, but less convenient)
- data interface (RS-232 would be best fitting to the Newt, but you need an
adapter SUB DB-9 to Mini-DIN 8)

DJ Vollkasko is providing a Wiki page on the topic.
Have a look there for more info.

Cheers
Johannes
