Older Metroguide v3 -vs- Navigator v8 ?

[toddm]

I have an older version of metroguide (v3 from 2001 or so) and I'm curious how much better the newer city navigator 8 software is and if it's worth upgrading to. The map size issue I've heard of in the past is not a big issue as I have large cards in both my cx units. I have run across places on trips and such that are obviously new developments or new hotels etc. where my older software does not have data on, but it's never really been a problem yet. (famous last words I know).

 

Just curious if the newer maps have more detail, or other features available.

 

Thanks in advance

If you are from an area with deloping projects, then there will be big difference as the new streets will not show up on you older version. But, if your area has remained relatively unchanged, then it may not be worth it to upgrade yet.

I'm sure a lot of the businesses and services in the database are now outdated. I had CS V6 and had it take me to a pharmacy that turned out to be out of business. I'm sure there is a lot more of that with V3.
