September 8, 2012Best maps for Garmin GPS,
Note that although v5 is now out, it’s really more of a map data vendor change than an “update”. The interface is identical, and much of the map data is, too. The main differences will be in Alaska and Hawaii. You can use the map viewer at Garmin’s web site to check out what the v5 maps look like.
Also, MetroGuide v5 can only be used to create routes on a PC. You cannot use its maps to create routes on a StreetPilot or other GPS that does its own routes. You can use the City Select CDs to do this.
Finally, if you’re wondering what the difference between this and Roads & Recreation, that is intended for older and low memory (1MB or less) units. If you have 8MB or more, get MetroGuide.

September 8, 2012Don’t go for a holiday without this!,
I’m using this with a Garmin eTrex Vista. Been quite useful so far, especially just to keep track of where you are (just about every road, big and small, in the US is in the map) or when you’re in a new place and you just want to find the closest Italian restaurant with the GPS of yours. (Of course it probably only works with selected Garmin GPSs)
Maps in this CD are about 2 or 3 years old so some new roads will probably be missing. Each city map takes about 7Mb and with the eTrex’s serial connection to the PC, it takes ages to upload.
Once you finally get over the uploading time, its a bliss. Like you’re in control of everything.
