- Same maps as Metro Guide with auto route
I finally got all the codes, the registrations and the attempts to get support completed only to find I have paid for Mapsource MetroGuide with autorouting called MapSource City Navigator. Come on Garmin, as techo savy as you are, get a map developer to compliment your hardware.

- Very disappointed in Garmin's overpriced software
Like another reviewer, I bought this software even after seeing the negative reviews because it is all my model will support. Unlocking the maps was a lengthy and cumbersome process, but I did get it up and running after about 10 - 15 minutes. After playing around for about a half hour I was able to map out a rudimentary route for a training ride on my bicycle. I consider myself pretty computer literate, and I felt that this was a reasonable amount of time for a learning curve. The details of the map were spot-on for the most part, but there is a fairly well-traveled road that was not on the Mapsource map that would have provided a more direct route. For some reason, this same stretch of road doesn't appear on my paper map, either, so there must be some weird idiosyncrasy with this particular roadway so I can't entirely fault Mapsource. My biggest problem with the software (after the high price!) is that it stopped functioning after two days. When I try to open Mapsource I get an error message telling me to re-install the software. After several attempts at uninstalling and reinstalling I still get the same error. I tried the Web Update Wizard which was of no help. And answers on Garmin's website are pretty non-existent for the most part. I tried calling support during the hours listed on their site only to be told by a machine that the hours for support are actually two hours less than posted. I hope to be able to resolve this with Garmin (or get a refund from Amazon), but after spending $139 I am pretty disgusted with the whole thing and wish I had bought another brand of GPS.

**Update**

I was finally able to get my software reinstalled after another attempt. I also did get an e-mail from Garmin telling me that I should try reinstalling the software...

On a positive note, I just bought another GPS to use strictly on my bicycle, and I was able to get another unlock code free of charge for my second unit.

I still have issue with the software, so I still only rate it one star. On recent bike rides I came across two different road closures that the software tried to route me through. I know that Mapsource can't be responsible for knowing every road's condition, but these sections of road have been closed for YEARS due to flooding in 2004. And I did check for updates, but none were available.

And the software tends to crash frequently, particularly when I'm mapping out a long route with lots of points on it, so I've taken to saving my work very often. This could also be a Windows compatibility issue, though.

- Save headaches and cash,buy older mapsouce versions
This is the most difficult confusing software I have ever installed.there
unlock wizard will take you to hell and back with coupon codes,then 25 digit code from garmin,then they ask to input your 8 digit serial numbers from you software and GPS when they are 9 and 10 digit numbers and they tell you if you make a mistake,no refunds,basicly tough luck.if all goes well,you will be given a product key then you must find a regitration code and on and on and on. bottom line is the maps are outdated so save your money,get the exact same features,same maps for half the cost.go buy a older version of map source requiring no unlock codes which installs easy and best yet,city navigator only works on one GPS,older verions work all day on lots of GPS's

- Garmin City Navigator v. 8
I bought this updated version of the Mapsource software to use with my GPS (because that's all it supports). Still retails for quite a bit more than it's competitors so what can you do? The Graphics are the same as v.7 with no additional/different icons and the geocaching features that worked before I installed it, no longer work. (with the logging the find and putting it into the calendar) same as before. So over all it's the same old same old. I would be using something else if it worked with my GPS.

- waste of time
The software will not install. I started the installation process but it directed me to the website for an update. the update just hangs. I have emailed customer support but have not heard back from them.

I wish I bought the Magellan unit
