+WestWind Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I picked up a Garmin GPSmap 76CSx to replace my older GPSmap 76 unit. I would like to be able to use it in my truck for driving and directions. Garmin offers City Navigator and City Select, and according to their site both will work in my unit. The question is, which is really the right one to get? Ii can not find a place to really compare the 2 products so any info you might offer would be great! Thanks, westwind Quote Link to comment
Dirtnapper Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I have the 76csx, and I got City Nav 8....I was on a three week vacation and it worked fine down the east coast. It does routing. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, westwind Actually they only offer City Navigator. City Select was discontinued after V7. The current version is V8. If you buy City Select V7 now Garmin will give you a free upgrade to City Navigator V8. The basic difference was City Select had smaller map segments than City Nav. That allowed those people running limited memory units to be able to use the software. CN V8 is something of a compromise--The segments are larger than they were is CS, but not so large as to be unusable. Quote Link to comment

Also, if you want to be able to get the whole U.S. on a 1 GB memory card, get the NT version of City Navigator. Quote Link to comment
