This software allows you to view color maps on a desktop PC, with zoom and pan functions for easy map browsing. You can create waypoints, routes, and tracks, and transfer them between your PC and nearly all Garmin GPS devices (see below for compatibility).
This CD-ROM also contains motorways, national and regional thoroughfares, roundabouts, railroads, and local roads in many areas. It also displays points of interest, such as restaurants, border crossings, petrol stations, lodging, shopping, entertainment, and emergency services. You also get shoreline detail of lakes, rivers, streams, and canals.
Other points of interest include various details, from border crossings to gas stations. And with a map-download-compatible Garmin GPS, MapSource will allow you to load map detail for addresses and business listings.
The current map coverage for Germany includes about 590,000 km of roadways (71.4% of all roads), roughly 2,720 municipalities, 1,434 major cities in street-level detail, and the area inhabited by up to 55.9% of the German population.
Downloads from European MapSource MetroGuide CD-ROMs are limited to a maximum of 32 MB. The map transfer feature is only compatible with the following units: GPS III+, 12MAP, NavTalk, GPSMAP 162, GPSMAP 168 Sounder, StreetPilot, StreetPilot ColorMap, StreetPilot III, GPSMAP 295, eMap, eTrex Vista, and eTrex Legend. A blank Garmin data cartridge is needed to upload map data to some of these units. The trip and waypoint management functions of this CD-ROM work with nearly all Garmin GPS units, excluding the GPS100 family and panel-mount aviation units.
