October 21, 2011Very useful in France,
The Metroguide software for France is more useful than the US version. The maps seem more up to date, and, due to the difficulty of finding anything in France, much more useful. I managed to find our company’s new building in a new town by punching in the address, and I was able to use my emap to find it in 10 minutes from the train station. It also seems to have up to date restaurant and attraction info for Paris and other areas.

October 21, 2011Urban Explorer,
I used this product in conjunction with the eTrex Vista unit, on a recent vacation to the UK. Traveling by train, I used the product mainly to navigate on foot in the various cities I visited. I found the pre-programmed waypoints of tourist sites, train stations, and even London tube stops, to be extremely accurate. As for the accuracy of the waypoints I uploaded by street address, it varied bit, but was still good enough to easily get me where I needed to go. My only real disappointment was with the granularity of the mapping data, as it is selected for upload. For the purposes of this feature, the country is divided into large sections, and I had cases where to get one city, I had to upload a large section containing several megabytes of data I wouldn’t use. This of course tied up precious memory that kept me from uploading the data for other cities. Still, I found this to be a workable limitation since I could use the PC based maps to preprogram routes and waypoints for all the places I knew I would want to visit, regardless of their map section.
All things considered, this product greatly enhanced my vacation. Saving me the frustration of burying my head in maps, and hunting for the elusive European street sign, this product virtually eliminated one of the biggest headaches of what is meant to be a relaxing time.
