 A decent deal and works well August 30, 2007

I don't normally write product reviews, but I feel like this product has been over harshly criticized. While the price is high, I think it is reasonable for what you get. I can't get an ADC map of my county for less than $20, so a complete, routable map of the entire US (and Canada) for this price is a good deal. You'll also get discounts on future upgrades which I don't get with paper maps.
The installation process was fairly easy. It forced me to install an update immediately after installing, before allowing me to unlock. I had to manually find and download the update rather than the software doing that for me, but it wasn't too bad.
The unlocking process was flawless. I had to create a myGarmin account, then plug my GPS in using the USB connection. I entered my code that came in the package when prompted and the maps were unlocked for the device. If you have the USB connection you don't need to enter the UID of the device or anything as others have suggested.
Once the maps were unlocked for the GPSr, I selected all the regions and transfered them to a 2GB microSD card I put into my 60Csx. The transfer took about 2 hours but I was transferring about 1.1GB of maps over USB2 so it sounds about right. So in about 3 hours (15 minutes of actual work) I had the product installed, updated, unlocked, and transferred to the device.
I haven't had much time to use the maps on the road, but the product delivers what is promised. If you aren't comfortable with the price, you might want to avoid a GPSr all together and go for paper maps. For me, not having to buy a $20 map for every city I travel to makes it more than worth it.
 Unmet possibilities April 5, 2007

For such an expensive piece of software there is more potential here than usable product. City Navigator does have included most roads that I'm interested in but has a really hard time with whether they are paved or not. Also most of the roads in my neck of the woods have numbers on the signs designating what you're driving on. City Navigator uses names for the most part. Since they like named roads so much you'd think that one could use their "FIND" function to look up a famous road. Well, you'd be wrong. Try the Blue Ridge Pkw. or the Great River Road and see what happens. What City Navigator does it does fairly well, it just doesn't do nearly enough.
I waited until most pundits seemed in agreement that GPS was a well established product and then bought the "best" map for my hardware. I, maybe, should have waited
Installation problems? November 28, 2007
23 out of 29 found this review helpful
I don't know why some persons have problems to install it, just insert the DVD in your computer, follow the instructions on the screen and you are done.
You receive a bunch of data and information, you will need 2GB Micro SD card in order to have the complete DVD in your GPS (the complete info is about 1001.1 MB plus your track and waipoints...)
Note: The Garmin 60 CSX only accepts 2GB in the same card, don't pretend to buy a 4 GB card in order to store all the maps of your computer in the same card, instead of that, prior your trip, select the regions you will need.
 Double billing on Mapsource by Garmin/Don't upgrade October 11, 2007
16 out of 20 found this review helpful
I've used Mapsource with two Garmin GPS units for years. It is disappointingly lacking as far as being up to date. Now Garmin has changed it's upgrade process. Due to "security reasons", they now charge a $75 fee for EACH Garmin unit's unlock code. For me, that is $150 per upgrade. I have called Garmin to ask about this change in policy and have gotten no good answer for the price change, for me a 100% increase! They obviously do not trust their customers, and therefore penalize those who purchase more than one product from them. I see this as price gouging, but more than that, it shows that they expect their customers to cheat and give the maps away, which would be impossible as one needs an unlock code for each machine. $75 for each unlock code is unreasonable at best. No more upgrades for me. Time to look into the competition. I hope someone else will come out with a competitive product that puts these folks out of business.
Garmin City Navigator v. 8 May 12, 2007

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.
