MAP UPDATE FOR YEAR 2010, RELEASED IN APRIL 2009
Bought update for my Garmin GPS, determined it was out
dated! Attempted a download after several hours only about
20 percent had downloaded.. I have Satalite apparently it
reset and I lost everything. Called Garmin Support stated
server was slow and busy, must have real high speed
download. Told me to go to a friends house to download the
lastest version of map data???!!! Download should have
restart and check pointing or they should provide the
latest CD availiable. I can wait to April 2010 and get the
2011 version and pay again. I think GPS city should list
that the CD was out dated, and the download requirements
should be listed by Garmin...

CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M READING
Pros: good update
Many people are complaining that they had no idea or they
were not told that a high speed internet connection
was "helpful" in downloading the new maps. One person
complained it took 4.5 hours to download. Really? No
idea? How long does it take for a page to load using your
dial up. Someone had to tell you it might take awhile? I
don't get it. Word starts with S and ends with D.

CITY NAVIGATOR NT 2010 NORTH AMERICA MAP UPDATE
Cons: read review.
Even though it shows its an update the update does not show
local roads that have been in existence for the past
several years...when I drive these roads it would appear
that I'm driving on fields of green or my car has turned
into a boat as I pass over rivers and streams. Guess it
updated somewhere but not here (Apopka, Florida).

MISSING MATERIAL
In spite of update we found some addresses not there in
spite of fact they have been around for a decade
Still have to override it at times but very useful
navigating large cities keeping you in the proper lane, etc.

NEW 2010 MAPS FOR 2720 STREET PILOT
Pros: it gets you where you want to go.
Cons: sometimes takes you in a round about way.
At this time I have not used the new maps for a
trip/vacation but tried it on a short 60 mile trip that I
knew the road had changed & the changes were on the new maps.
Yes it took a long time to load & I needed to call a tech to
help. She was very nice & helpful. She recommended that I
use my CD to install new maps because the difference between
the download & CD was not worth the time to download the
maps.

GOOD MAP UPDATE
Pros: would appear to be a good upgrade.
Cons: none apparent
GPSCity Calgary, Alta provides excellent service - I
ordered late PM of one day and Update DVD arrived the
following morning Vancouver, B.C. Installation was
straightforward - just follow the instructions but
timeconsuming. Took one hour to download from Garmin with
High Speed internet and then 1 1/2 hr to install on my
Nuvi 350 Haven't used it very much yet but did do a bit of
exploring of various towns and the new update appears to
provide more street names than my previous maps 2008 NT

2010 UPDATE
Pros: quick delivery
Cons: see above
Cons: 1. Didn't know that we needed high speed internet
2. It took 4.5 hours to download it
3. Even though our Garmin model was on your list we
had to delete part of the information because
there was more info than what it would hold.
4. Our city alone had 25 or so businesses that have
been out of business 5-10 years. Deleting that
info would have allowed us to put all of the
current info on our Garmin
5. We think it would be less frustrating to just buy
a new Garmin and that is what we would recommend
to anyone who asks.

QUESTION
I have not yet installed this purchase on my Garmin Nuvi
350. I did not ask, nor was told, that high speed internet
aceess was necessary. If possible I would like to return
this unit (still in plastic casing - unopened) and purchase
an SD card.
I completed the Rate this item section above simply because
it was required to access the review text.
Thanks

UPDATE EXCLUSION
Pros: easy to read
Cons: not suitable for large rv or truck
The update does not consider the type of vehicle one is
driving. A class A motorhome or truck is directed onto
Parkways, tunnels, and dangerously small roadways. The Nuvi
5000 that I purchased was marketed to RV and truck drivers
and all updates should not include illegal or impassable roads.

NUMAPS UPDATE CITY NAVIGATOR NT 2010 NORTH AMERICA
I got the DVD because I have slow internet connection. So,
I was frustrated to find out that I could get the most up-
to-date maps by downloading them from the internet. I
tried, but it ran and it ran. I'm sure it was downloading
the entire map set. Why couldn't it just download the
updates, so it didn't take so long...

GARMIN MAP UPDATE
Pros: good data base/accuracy
Cons: timely to update
Takes a long tome to load onto GPS. Garmin should try to
speed up the process by updating only the necessary info
not already on the GPS unit.

GARMIN GPS NAV NT 2010 UPGRADE
The upgrade is necessary to keep the Nuvi up to date.
However this year they changed the way the upgrade is
installed on the device. They have the upgrade install the
software on your computer and the system needs to access
the internet to complete the install. This is way
different from previous versions where the upgrade was
place directly on the unit through the computer. This made
the install a lot longer than previous installs. I did not
like the new system. Too complicated and takes resources
away from your computer. Garmin needs to take a look at
the new install system and in the interest of simplicity
and effenciecy go back to the old method of installing
their upgrade software. I have no idea why it was
installed on my system or how I can reinstall the software
if something goes wrong. Their documentation with this
product is non-existant. If it works leave well enough
alone. If it is not broken don't try to fix it.

GARMIN NUMAPS UPDATE CITY NAVIGATOR NT 2010 NORTH
Pros: easy installation
Cons: long download time
The download process was very simple and took about 1.5
hours. I was a little concern from reading the reviews
about some of the problems I read about. Everything went
fine for me with no problems. Take your time to read first
before doing anything and you will be fine. The unit
belongs to my college student daughter and a can see a
difference with the new version. We have a Garmin 66o nuvii

GARMIN UPDATE NAVIGATOR NT2010-NORTH AMERICA
This is only my second purchase on-line with GPS City. I
found, as expected, the process to be seamless and
painless. The prompt confirmation and delivery of the
product was as advertised, actually quicker.
The product does not allow a download of All Canada & ALL
of the US. You must choose the area that is best for you.
Next upgrade will be to the "life time update" package.
No provincial sales tax, only the GST at 5%

BEST MAP UPDATE
Pros: very high level of reliable information
Cons: amount of time between updates and cost.
Although I am very happy with my Garmin 660 along with the
SW and updates, I cannot compare them to any others. I have
traveled across Canada and South from Canada through the US
to Mexico with few problems, although there has been some
misdirects experienced, with the information or unit. I am
very disappointed with the recent loss of signal to my
Garmin and the resulting need to replace my Garmin at
significant cost when the problem was not my doing.

BELOW AVERAGE UPDATE
Seems this update was more for POIs than for maps!
Traveling through Wash., D.C. had almost
continuous "Recalculating" alerts from unit. Not worth the
money!

Cons: took a long time to load the maps on the gps
The changeover process was straight forward and worked as

needed to use the GPS.

Pros: great product, very usefull
Cons: quite slow to load and install
Great update. New places, roads etc. I'm very pleased with
my Garmin GPS and the update. I even use it going places
I've been before, just in case I need to "detour" around
something.

A good upgrade. We have come across some roads that have been straightened
or changed slightly that look rather old that the NT 2010 doesn't recognize. But
for the most part so far it seems ok.

UPDATE CITY NAVIGATOR NT 2010NORTH AMERICA DVD
Pros: better maps - rural roads
Cons: still not enough water in williams lake - only 1/2
Wow, Garmin found Canada again. Best maps since 2004 – when
Navteq took over. There was actually water in Williams
Lake - still not quite full - and the Fraser river is there
(not there last year. Actually they were not even there in
Microsoft’s flight simulator X who used Navteq maps.
The rural roads around home are named again and appear to
be updated.
I feel that this is the first set of maps that I have had
in my GPS 7200 that make it worthwhile.

IT WORKS.
I bought the City Navigator map update for Garmin units and have used it just a
little so far. But it has some new roads on it, that were missing from my last
version the 2008. What it's still missing remains to be seen. But, it works.
