What Customers Say About Garmin MapSource City Navigator, North America DVD-ROM for Garmin StreetPilot GPS Units:

Works great with turn-by-turn routing on my Garmin GPSMap 76CSx. My only complaint is the cost - not only initially, but then early updates. Garmin keeps getting stricter in terms of how many units you can use with maps too, which is annoying. Overall a great product, just on the expensive side.

The item north american map for garmin unit street pilot lll is o k for one unit but if you own 2 you need to SPEND about 80.00 more to get a NEW CODE to program other unit. I personaly think this is eccessive. I have the disc which I paid over 80.00 to program my units which I have 2 one in my truck and one in my car. No reason for more codes.

Garmin has established an Unlock procedure that is so byzantine that I frequently am denied use of my rightfully owned software. Whether the error is missing unlock code, no customer code found, unable to recognize device, or customer support is currently closed, I find it virtually impossible to install the maps on my device. I understand that Garmin wants to prevent piracy, but they really need to beta test their anti-piracy protocols before dumping their wares on the public. If Garmin doesn't respect the hours upon hours of my time that I spend trying to unlock their software, they do not deserve repeat business.

Great software and update for Garmin unit. Pretty accurate, but few error in locations. Still great buy for the price.

Even worse, you cannot simply type a street name but must then select from a drop-down list of every street name option in the database.In Google maps, I usually find what I'm looking for typing the street number, street name, and ZIP code and pressing enter (without regard to "Rd." or "St.", even with misspellings). This is an extraordinarily bad product that makes me question my recent purchase of the Garmin 60 CSX.The problem is the extraordinarily out of date user interface. For example, in order to get directions to a specific address, the address must be specified in separate fields for the street number, the street, the city, the state, and the ZIP code. in City Navigator, this requires at least five different steps and use of multiple drop down menus -- effectively making it useless for me.I give the product two stars rather than one because it is quite handy to have all the preloaded points of interest. If I am driving on the highway and would like to get something to eat, I can browse a list of restaurants near my current location and then easily have the GPS direct me there.More commonly, however, I need to find directions to a specific address, and -- despite spending nearly $500 for a device and software to do this for me in real time -- I usually use Google maps and prints the results.
