Customer Review: Don't Be Misled
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased Garmin City Navigator NT for a Garmin Vista HCx and I'm very pleased with the purchase. I debated the purchase for several days due to several reviews that stated they received the older 2008 version and the software installation was too complicated. However, I received the current 2009 version and installing and unlocking the software was straight forward and simple. I was able to install City Navigator and TOPO 2008 in about 20 minutes. While I have only used the product for two days, the roads are current and detailed for my area. Great purchase!

Customer Review: Worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the GPSMap 60CSX for a variety of outdoor uses, mainly freshwater fishing. Inland Lakes was the first DVD that I purchased, and while that provides excellent lake details, it does not provide road details which may be useful while looking for unfamiliar or remote boat landings.
City Navigator provides the turn-by-turn information I needed. I can either send the information to the unit or simply print the driving directions. Let me assure you, online mapping programs may be free, but they lack the detail and accuracy of this software.
The unlock code is provided with the DVD and unlocking takes a matter of seconds. I highly recommend this DVD.
Customer Review: Don't Buy Garmin
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought a Garmin GPSmap 76CSx for bicycle touring, along with the MetroGuide USA map navigation software for building routes -- but the GPSmap wouldn't follow the routes I created using the MetroGuide software (among other things, it wanted me to bicycle across the Hudson River on water). When I spoke with Garmin, they told me that I needed City Navigator and not MetroGuide, so I bought City Navigator.
It doesn't work any better than the MetroGuide did. On a recent trip, after carefully laying out a route on local roads in City Navigator and downloading it to the GPS, the GPS ignored the route I had downloaded and tried to get me ride a bike on Interstate 95.
Customer Review: Great street maps, so-so locations
Summary: 4 Stars
The map software is pretty good at dealing with roads, and I haven't walked or driven anywhere on a road which isn't listed. The store and business location database is seriously out of date, though, and has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate (to steal a phrase from Douglas Adams). Several businesses which have been at their present locations for a number of years are not listed, or are listed at the incorrect block. It also lists the college where I work as being "San Angelo College," which it hasn't been called since 1965. Still, I'd have to rate this software highly.Customer Review: Super accurate maps of Podunk
Summary: 4 Stars
This software is great for traveling over the road or in the woods. The maps are incredibly detailed and accurate. The auto-routing functions work great in the urban areas. (In rural areas it gives some kind of crazy directions) No major issues and it loads easily onto my e-trex Vista.
Downside.....You must use the lock on road function when navigating over the road. Otherwise it will show you out in the middle of fields on rare occasions.
Save your money on the Garmin Topo map and buy this guy. I tried them both, and this mapping software beats the pants off Topo 24K.
