Product Description

A GPS navigator is only as good as the maps it employs. Enter MapSource City Navigator North America, which comes with fully routable maps of U.S., Canadian, and Puerto Rican metropolitan areas. The detailed maps offer the perfect way to get around almost any North American city (and some countrysides, too), while offering more than six million points of interest, including restaurants, bars, hotels, attractions, movie theaters, gas stations, shopping malls, campgrounds, and more. Need a good back-seat driver for your next city-hopping road trip? Look no further than this DVD-ROM. Designed specifically for Garmin's StreetPilot III, StreetPilot 2610, and StreetPilot 2650 vehicle GPS navigators, the disc also boasts detailed information on highways, interstates, business roads, and residential roads, with such attributes as turn restrictions, roundabout guidance, speed categories, and other navigation details. In addition, each DVD offers automatic routing, so you can easily generate point-to-point routes in MapSource or on the compatible navigators. And thanks to the trip and waypoint management feature, you can also transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your Garmin GPS and PC.
Other details include supplemental coverage of Hawaii (using unverified government data) and an Unlock Wizard that guides you through the unlocking process (required when downloading data to a data card or Garmin GPS). As with all Garmin Products, City Navigator North America comes with a one-year warranty. Important Note about Map Updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever need a map update, you can get one from Garmin at http://www8.garmin.com/unlock/update.jsp. You will need to have your device's serial number ready.

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.
