5 comments about Garmin Roads and Recreation CD ROM (USA).

1. Roads and Recreation works well with a mapping Garmin GPS, but has not been updated in a long time. The current and original version 3.00 is missing some major highways built since 1999 and some since 1998. If you don't mind occasionally driving across empty countryside (on your mapping GPS), then this product is pretty good. For roads before 1999, major and minor, it works well as a download into a mapping Garmin GPS. For PC-only use it does not compare with other products such as those from Delorme (Street Atlas)or Microsoft. Garmin should be honest about its MapSource products and tell the user when they were last updated. This is especially true for its basic marine software, Waterways and Lights. Software sells fancy GPS units. In the case of Garmin, adequate best describes the software. It's right up there with a 3-year old telephone directory. Most everyone is listed, except...



2. This CDROM has many streets, but is a little out of date. I live in Las Vegas, and we build streets here faster than most maps can keep up. But I know there is an electronic map source company right here in town, that keeps all the map makers up to date overnight. (TV news showed them and how they work.)

   Therefore, I'd expect Garmin to get with the program and update more often. They have an update source for aviation data just about monthly, (I know.. I keep the current Jeppesen data base in my Garmin 295 color GPS for my airplane.) They could just as easily update this software with something you download to provide just the changes since the CDROM was issued.

   Most important: To upload any of the maps from this CD ROM, you need a RAM cartridge for your GPS unit! Nothing told me this, not even the software documentation nor the GPS manual. There is only very limited memory built in the GPS units.

   This CD ROM has the ability to transfer major sections of the country (it would take about 8 sections, as I recall just to get California), and you can select how much you want to transfer. I'd get at least a 64MB RAM cartridge. The new 128MB RAM would be better, but at $250 (discount) to $350 (Garmin retail), its expensive!

3. I purchased this product to plot and provide turn-by-turn directions for trips and to load maps to my Legend. This product does not provide turn-by-turn directions. When I called the Garmin software help line, the suggestion was made to purchase the Metroguide USA product since it had all functions of R&R and more. Seems the R&R was the first software product offered and is for low memory units (1mb). This is an obsolete product and since I opened the package--it cannot be returned. If you have a newer GPS unit with more than a mb of memory, don't bother with this software. It is not designed for your unit. Don't look for this info in the manual--it's not there. Call the help line and you may find your money was wasted.



4. This really is a step up on the standard map that comes loaded in the eTrex Vista, and when driving around with the GPSr attached, I never have to ask for directions. However, in a large growing area like where I live, there are always new subdivisions popping up, and this can't keep up with them. The software is over 3 years old, and while it makes inter-city travel a breeze, and familiarizes you with new places, you'll always still need a map close by for reference, especially if you drive any amount for a living.



5. I have a Legend and wanted additional map details for my unit - so I purchased this software. Well, I got all the map details but no functionality. The documentation is bad and so is the online help. Worst of all you can not even look up a street address - even with a paper map I can look up the general area of a street. What's up with that? I would not recommend this product at all buy the Metroguide.

1. I ordered this item in Feb 2007. The product that I recieved was last year's release of Mar 2006. After varifying with Garmin the latest version is Jan 2007 I returned it for credit. Amazon can't tell you what they have in stock so you just have to wait until they run out of last year's stock or settle for informatin that is a year old.



2. The Garmin BlueChart Vision SD Card I recently purchased was exactly what I expected. The card was received on time as promised and operates great. No problems encountered with this product

1 comments about Microsd Card, City Navigator Nt,.

1. The SD card works fine. One problem I had is this is a micro SD
   card so it needs an adapter to fit in the SD card slot on my
   Garmin GPS. The micro SD card came in a Garmin package but no
   adapter. There was an empty space in the package where it looks like their should have been an adapter. I was leaving for Spain the day
   after I rcvd the sd card so I had to go to radio shack to buy an
   adapter. The company needs to specify whether the package contains
   and adapter or if you need to purchase it separately.
