You must own this if you use a GPS in the city. This software works on your computer for exploring any street in the nation, and the data can be uploaded to the GPS unit and placed on the card. This allows you to use the data in conjunction with real time position information on the GPS. The software is great, and the road data is very accurate. If you want to go hiking or camping get the topo or roads and rec maps.

Its a must have if you are using garmin emap. Once you download the data from the cd rom into the memory cartridge you are ready to roll. Expect to see the whole area on the small screen. I would say with out the mapsource and the cartridge (which you have to have inorder to download the data) the emap is not complete. If you are willing to invest the money then i would suggest to get either the 16 mb or much better the 32 mb cartridge.
