 Excellent Software December 7, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The software installed easily on my computer and I was able to unlock the maps with no problems. There was a Mapsource update available and it downloaded and installed without a hitch. An update is available for City Navigator North America NT. Due to the date of purchase I had for the full version, Garmin is sending the update DVD at no charge and is waiving the standard $75 update fee. This is the exact same thing Garmin did when an update was released shortly after I purchased the City Select v6 software and a v7 update was released shortly after. All of this was taken care of quickly and without any hassle.
The amount of time it took to download the maps to my GPS unit was much faster than the download time required when I was using the City Select v7 software. The City Select v7 software was non-NT and took up about 1.8 GB of space resulting in a download time of a little over 2.5 hours. The City Navigator North America NT maps are just under 1 GB and the download only lasted about 1.5 hours.
I am completely satisfied with City Navigator North America NT. The main areas where I travel have been updated and are much more current than my previous City Select v7 software.
Installation problems? November 28, 2007

I don't know why some persons have problems to install it, just insert the DVD in your computer, follow the instructions on the screen and you are done.
You receive a bunch of data and information, you will need 2GB Micro SD card in order to have the complete DVD in your GPS (the complete info is about 1001.1 MB plus your track and waipoints...)
Note: The Garmin 60 CSX only accepts 2GB in the same card, don't pretend to buy a 4 GB card in order to store all the maps of your computer in the same card, instead of that, prior your trip, select the regions you will need.

This is the correct, and most recent, version. I have a eTrex Legend HCx and with these maps, the GPSr is now infinetly more useful.
Installation was a snap, once I found the 8-digit coupon code (it is between the cardboard in the plastic clamshell). Just followed direction and it went right in. At the end of the installation a dialog did come up saying that there was an update, but there didn't actually seem to be an update.
Downloading the maps to my GPSr was a breeze, once I figured out how to select the maps I wanted to install (I only wanted the West US right now).
I would give this a 5, but the price it real high. Amazon has this a lot cheaper that Garmin, but still this software is expensive.
 But whatcha going to do October 12, 2007

if it is the only product that works with your Garmin GPS. It took awhile for me to load it onto a 2gig micro SD card (that I got through Amazon) but that was expected. And, I felt that I had to jump through more hoops than necessary to install it but the job got done and I am happy with it.
It is not a bad product but it needs updated. When I registered it with with Garmin, they said they were sending me an update disk but it has yet to arrived.
I will look closely at the other GPS brands such as Tom Tom or Magellan for the next GPS I buy. I ain't happy with Garmin service and won't order directly from them anymore if I can help it.
Amazon has done just great on delivery of stuff I ordered from them so I guess I am spoiled.
 Double billing on Mapsource by Garmin/Don't upgrade October 11, 2007
16 out of 20 found this review helpful
I've used Mapsource with two Garmin GPS units for years. It is disappointingly lacking as far as being up to date. Now Garmin has changed it's upgrade process. Due to "security reasons", they now charge a $75 fee for EACH Garmin unit's unlock code. For me, that is $150 per upgrade. I have called Garmin to ask about this change in policy and have gotten no good answer for the price change, for me a 100% increase! They obviously do not trust their customers, and therefore penalize those who purchase more than one product from them. I see this as price gouging, but more than that, it shows that they expect their customers to cheat and give the maps away, which would be impossible as one needs an unlock code for each machine. $75 for each unlock code is unreasonable at best. No more upgrades for me. Time to look into the competition. I hope someone else will come out with a competitive product that puts these folks out of business.
