4.0 out of 5 stars
Mixed feelings. Points of interest great. Mapping just OK.,
By JanSobieski (United States of America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin City Select v7 North America Street Map CD-ROM (Windows) (Electronics)
I was disappointed in this software particularly when comparing it to Microsoft's Streets and Trips which had far better mapping details and features at a considerable savings. To give this program its due however I must admit that there are significantly more points of interest (restaurants, hospitals, hotels, etc.) available in this program than its Microsoft counterpart.
Garmin requires you to purchase THEIR maps for all their GPS units. And those maps are expensive and this product is no exception. I bought v 6 which is an updated version of v 5. I understand that you can upgrade for free. Streets and Trips by Microsoft is an elegant and intuitive program providing you with powerful mapping tools that are, IMO, far better than those provided by Garmin. Garmin does have an edge on the number of points of interest but in all other facets of the mapping program Streets and Trips excels IMO. I disliked the Garmin solution and their forcing me to buy their expensive maps so much that I bought Microsoft's Streets and Trips with GPS Locator for under $100 and found a solution that, for me, works much better particularly in an automobile. Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent program when used in conjunction with the Garmin hardware. My major complaints are the pricing of the software, the mapping details aren't as good as Streets and Trips, and other mapping functions including but not limited to panning and zooming work better in Streets and Trips. Again, the number of points of interest and the ability to plot a course to any of them with a touch of a button are superb features of City Select. If you are buying this program exclusively because you own a Garmin GPS then, rest assured, this product will fulfill your needs admirably. If however you are looking just for a mapping program then Microsoft's Streets and Trips would serve you better at 1/3 the price. And if your GPS needs are limited to the automobile and you don't need a handheld solution then Microsoft's Streets and Trips with GPS Locator at less than $100 offers an incredible value!

CitySelect - Mapsource Confusion,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin City Select v7 North America Street Map CD-ROM (Windows) (Electronics)
Several reviewers are confusing Garmin Mapsource which has free updates (it is the program that runs on your computer) and Garmin City Select (the mapping data program) that has NO FREE UPDATES! Updating from version 5 to version 6 costs $75.

Actually a review of v7,
By Infrequent Reviewer (Danville, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin City Select v7 North America Street Map CD-ROM (Windows) (Electronics)
I ordered v6 after the cutoff date for a free upgrade. Nice. :-)
The upgrade came in the mail in a reasonable amount of time and installed over v6 with no problems. Also nice. I used it on a first-time ever trip to New York and it kept me from getting lost (and confused) more than once. Definitely worth it. BUT (and there's always a but), there's so much detail in the maps that I couldn't download as much as I wanted to my eTrex VistaC (24 Meg of RAM). Granted, New York has a lot of stuff to download, so the maps take a lot of memory. But I have the same problem with San Francisco Bay Area maps. The other gotcha' (and a more serious one) is bad/outdated information. For example, in my home town City Select v7 still shows a Coco's restaurant that's been CLOSED for nearly five years. But it DOESN'T show a Taco Bell that's been in business right across the street for at least 10-15 years, and is still open. Go figure . . . I don't want to sound too negative. Overall, a fantastic product. But the first thing I learned about maps in Boy Scouts was that all maps have mistakes, somewhere. And this map is no exception. So don't always expect to find that gas station or restaurant where your GPS says it is. But I'd buy it again, in a heartbeat.
