Editorial Reviews :
The MapSource MetroGuide U.S.A. CD-ROM contains the electronic equivalent of several paper maps and represents the same information found on MetroGuide cartridges. MetroGuide U.S.A. includes trip and waypoint management functions that allow you to transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your PC and nearly all Garmin GPS units while viewing detailed maps on your PC screen.
With a map-download-compatible Garmin GPS, MetroGuide U.S.A. allows you to load map detail, addresses, business listings, and points of interest from any region in the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. You can transfer MetroGuide U.S.A. data from a personal computer to your GPS unit or to a blank or preprogrammed data cartridge (compatible with StreetPilot III).
You'll see details such as the locations of restaurants, banks, gas stations, and tourist attractions, plus much more. In addition, you can use your GPS to look up street addresses and points of interest, then navigate to them with the help of onscreen arrows and street-level detail. You'll be able to drive to any city address in the large database using an electronic map that shows street-level detail.
Note on compatibility: The trip and waypoint management functions of this product work with nearly all Garmin GPS units, excluding the GPS 100 family and panel-mount aviation units. Specifically, the map download features of this product work with the eTrex Legend, eTrex Vista, eMap, GPS V, StreetPilot, StreetPilot ColorMap, StreetPilot III, and GPSMAP 76, 176, 182, 188, 232, 238, 295, 2006, and 2010.
Buyer Reviews :
While Garmin makes some of the worlds best GPS hardware, I can't say the same for their software. I read a number of reviews cautioning that their maps were out of date before purchasing this product. I then called Garmin directly and was told that all of the maps had been updated in 8/2001. I don't know what they updated, but it wasn't their maps. I have never seen maps so out of date or a search engine that was so worthless. The only advantage that Garmin's software has over MS Streets and Trips or DeLorme's Street Atlas Deluxe is the ability to upload maps into the GPS, but what good is that if the maps aren't current? If you need to get to an address, don't expect Garmin's software to get you there. Ask a cop first. It's cheaper and more reliable.
