 Nice but overpriced October 25, 2005

The software program was easy to load, follow, and install. However, the price for it was too much for what you get
Generally good, but updates lack new roads September 27, 2005
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Overall, I like this software because the layout and distances seem accurate, but it lacks major roads that have been around for over 7 years in my area. The "update" downloads don't seem to correct those gaps. Also, some street names are old or generic, like "Co Hwy E2" instead of the street's long-standing popular name. Sometimes mouse-hover names differ from (or supplement) displayed names on the map.
We can't expect Garmin to keep up with ALL new roads created by runaway population growth, but they shouldn't be 7+ years behind reality. I often have to correct MapSource with online maps and Garmin should offer free updates with new roads if the downloads wouldn't be too large.
 Version 6 is shipping December 9, 2004

Why does Amazon continue to hawk Version 5, weeks after Version 6 has shipped. In fact many of Amazon's affiliates are now selling Version 6
A poor introduction to NavTech Mapping February 29, 2004
23 out of 24 found this review helpful
I've owned a StreetPilot B&W for 5 years and have been extremely impressed with the unit and service by Garmin. When the MapSource MetroGuide CD Version 5.0 came out using NavTech I was excited with the change. When I installed it on my StreetPilot the level of detail is very poor compared to the old software. Both versions have similar detail when the zoom is 3/4 mile or below. Above that zoom the old software has the clear edge.If you factor in traveling at 55 mph you can imagine how quickly the screen image will change at 3/4 mile resolution. No longer can you see if the smaller state highways will be through roads or dead ends. In my opinion the new map, at higher zoom factors, is no better than a base map without the software loaded. I've removed the Version 5.0 software from my unit and reloaded the old software. Garmin hopes to have an improved version towards the end of 2004, which realistically will probably be in 2005. I'm surprised they released this software with this flaw.
