'A Waste Of Time'

'A Waste Of Time'

Pros

I find it very hard to find a 'Pro' for what is only a file update of the original Mapsource. It seems to me that Garmin goes to some extra effort to make using their Apps difficult to sort out and use.

Cons

If you don't already have Mapsource installed it it just a useless waste of time. It is an update to the original version. I was looking for an App to be installed on my new computer and continue what I started in my old XP. The original version was very hard to use and not user friendly at all. It is a shame because the car version of Garmin Nuvi is a pleasure to use in my car and motor home.

Summary

Look elsewhere. There must be another source of free and easy to use map editing software.

Pros

None. Downloaded file is not what was advertised.

Cons

This is NOT the Mapsource program. It is an UPDATE ONLY. It is totally useless and a waste of time unless you already have a previous version of the Mapsource program.

Summary

Mapsource

Totally useless waste of time unless you already have a previous version of the Mapsource program (but then, why would you need this? In that case just go directly to the garmin website and download an update).

'Great map program for Garmin GPS'

'Great map program for Garmin GPS'

Pros

Easy to use to set waypoints and download them to the Garmin GPS

Cons

Searching from street names could be improved. You need to search for the exact name. Most people are used to google search which allows approximate search strings.

Summary

Very good program for Garmin GPS receivers

If you have limited bandwidth you can download Garmin Training Center as step one and then MapSource. After this is complete make sure to browse our maps section and download maps that can be installed on your GPS unit.
