Various map products - street maps of North America (Canada, USA, Mexico and French Guiana) and topographic maps of the USA.

These products provide very detailed street maps of North America (Canada, USA, Mexico and French Guiana) rsp. topographic maps of the USA or part of them, see examples below. They provide all features described under MapSource, which are:

• Basic features: Manage GPS data on a PC, exchange data between a PC and a GPS device (see note about City Navigator).
• Significant increase of the level of details: If there is a built-in map, then the map of North America or USA will overlay the built-in map. Outside this map, the built-in map is still available. Most GPS devices support enabling and disabling maps, so you can easily switch between different maps. If your GPS device supports profiles, then you can bind different maps to different profiles.
• Extended search functions: Find addresses (town, street and street number), intersections, points of interest, such as restaurants, hotels, attractions, entertainment, shopping, services, transportation, emergency and government addresses, coordinates etc.
• Autorouting on the GPS: The maps of these products support the autorouting feature of the GPS models which are capable of computing routes.
• Autorouting on a PC: Computes routes on a computer. These routes can be transferred to a GPS device (see note about City Navigator).
• Map areas: The maps are divided into a number of areas. Depending on the amount of memory available in the GPS device, one or more areas can be transferred to any GARMIN GPS device that supports maps (applies to maps on CDrom or DVD). If you buy a µSD/SD memory card, then the complete map is available on the GPS instantly.
• Packaging: One CDrom rsp. 3 CDroms or one DVD including customer code to receive free unlock code (where applicable) or one µSD memory card with µSD-to-SD adapter. Does not include a cable for data exchange, if you need such a connection cable, see our selection of options.
• System Requirements: See here (CDrom or DVD only)

City Navigator North America covers Canada, USA, Mexico and French Guiana and is available on two different media: DVD and µSD/SD memory card. What are the differences ?

• The CDrom/DVD has the advantage that if you install the map on a computer, it will automatically also install the program MapSource, which supports data exchange between a computer and a GPS device plus computing of a route (autorouting). If you buy the map on a memory card, you have to install the program BaseCamp, which is available for download free of charge, in order to get the same features, see MapSource versus BaseCamp. On the other hand, the maps must be unlocked for a particular GPS device - for most products (e.g. City Navigator) you can unlock the maps for only one device, for some products (e.g. Swiss Topo) for two devices. In addition, the detailed maps must be transferred from the computer to the GPS device, which might require a significant amount of time, depending on the amount of data that you wish to transfer. For most maps, updates are available on an approximately quarterly basis (charges may apply).
  
  
• The µSD/SD memory card has the advantage that the maps are immediately available as soon as you plug in the memory card. In addition, you may use the maps on any number of devices, but only on one device at the time. The GPS has to have a SD or microSD slot. The data is stored on a µSD memory card, but an µSD-to-SD adapter is included. No updates are available for maps stored on µSD/SD memory cards.

If the DVD does not include the latest version of the maps when you buy it, then you are entitled to download a free update to the most recent version within 60 days after purchase. You will be notified about the update when you register the map at my.garmin.com during the unlock process.

Support for devices, which cannot handle NT maps ended in 2009. There are no map products available for older models such as the GARMIN Quest or the StreetPilot III.

• Basic features: Manage GPS data on a PC, exchange data between a PC and a GPS device.
• Autorouting on a PC: Computes routes on a computer. These routes can be transferred to a GPS device. Supports routing only within consecutive areas, cannot calculate routes between separated areas (in other words, this product supports routing within a national park, but does not support routing between separated national parks).
• Map areas: The map is divided into 931 areas and requires a total of 309 MB memory on a GPS, but a single area requires only 933 kB or less. Depending on the amount of memory available in the GPS device, one or more areas can be transferred to any GARMIN GPS device that supports maps.
• Autorouting: This product is particularly designed for the GARMIN models of the Colorado-, Oregon- and Montana-series, Dakota 20, Edge 605/705, eTrex C/Cx/HC/HCx-series, etrex 20/30, GPSMAP60-series, GPSMAP62-series, GPSMAP76-series, Dezl-series, Nuvi-series, StreetPilot-series, Zumo-series, cfQue 1620 as well as GPS10/18/20 with nRoute or MobilePC because it supports the autorouting feature of these products. Supports routing only within consecutive areas, cannot calculate routes between separated areas (in other words, this product supports routing within a national park, but does not support routing between separated national parks).
