 Decent update, bought it to update my basemap. July 23, 2008
The user functions are ok, not quite like using a google map. Wish it had topo!!! Cuold really use it with bike trails and routes.
 Maybe not as flashy as some... July 22, 2008
While this package may not be as flashy as some of the others out there, it does everything I want it to and then some.
I have two minor issues. 1)the interface with the map is clumsy when it comes to zooming and panning. If you use only the mouse, you have to switch between tools. 2) I can't find a way to filter out POIs I'm not interested in. If you are using the highest map detail setting to show minor streets and roads, you also get a ton of POIs which clutters the map.
I've tried two map/route software packages by the other big players in this market and am generally more satisfied with the Garmin product.
I used it paired with my Vista HCx and the more I use it, the more I like it.
Good support web site too.
UPDATE... There is a way filter POIs - sort of. You have to turn them all off and the search for the ones you want by category.
OK in Use, But Not Very Easy to Install July 20, 2008
Besides the usual topos for hiking & outdoors, I wanted to also use my handheld Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx as an occasional street navigator. This software allows me to do that. For that application, I would only recommend it for occasional use, because a dedicated navigation device is easier to use. The limitation is not in the software, but in the device. To be fair, the handheld Garmin was designed for portable, rugged, outdoor use, not car navigation. The software works fine, and the "find" features are great for locating gas stations, restaurants and points-of-interest. The only trouble is installation. This software is "locked", so you have to register on Garmin's web site to unlock, and it can only be installed on one computer and one device. Also, for the Garmin handheld at least, remember that all maps you want (including topos) must be staged on MapSource before downloading to the memory card. Attempts to add maps later will just erase what is on the card and replace them with the ones you are trying to add. Again, this is a limitation of the device, not the software. Enjoy if you decide to get City Navigator too.
 Very Good Map Data Base July 18, 2008
I am very pleased with the data base of maps that is provided with Garmin City Navigator NT. It works perfectly well on my Garmin etrex GPS.
 Okay only July 1, 2008
Compared to Google Maps, this product looks & acts dated. It might be at home with Windows 3.11. Not very well updated; a major freeway overpass/exit that has been in place for over a year didn't show on the map. Repeated tries updating has never found any updates. No dragging & dropping routes. Major landmarks not named, such as large community college. Expensive for outdated technology. Not worth the $.
