CenTexDodger Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I just went to Garmin's site and when I pulled up the viewer for City Nav, it said 2008, so I assume it is the new version. I did some quick checking of the areas that I travel, and so far, I have not seen any changes (in areas where there have been changes in the actual roadways). I thnk the biggest disappointment is that the new Toll Road around Austin is nowhere to be seen. Anyway, it is there, you can check it out for yourself! Quote Link to comment
CenTexDodger Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Sorry about the double post. Perhaps an admin. can eliminate one of them... Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I just tried to check it out but I got an error saying Map Product Not Available in the viewer window Quote Link to comment
TPKeller Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 How did you navigate to the new viewer? All the ways I am familiar with still show v8. Theron Quote Link to comment
CenTexDodger Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 How did you navigate to the new viewer? All the ways I am familiar with still show v8. Theron From the home page select--> maps-->on the road maps--> under the City navigator set, select North America--> click the viewer in the upper right corner. It brings up the viewer for City Nav NA 2008. Quote Link to comment

Theron When I go to City Navigator NT, I get the v8 map, but when I go to the plain City Navigator, as detailed in his description, I get the City Nav NA 2008. There is a difference as some major changes that happened in the last year here in Winnipeg are reflected in the 2008 version, but not in the v8 version. Quote Link to comment
+larryc43230 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Looks like the map viewer for the non-NT version points to the 2008 maps, and the map viewer for the NT version still points to the old (v8) maps. The 2008 maps incorporate the new Route 33 bypass around Lancaster, Ohio. Excellent! --Larry Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 It still doesn't seem to show the street where my daughter lives. It's been there for several years............. Quote Link to comment

I owned V7 of city select, and when V8 of city navigator came out I was amazed at how many road errors were still shown. well this time around all the errors I have found in my area seem to be corrected, so I will be buying the 2008 maps.

Did you ever submit it to navteq(who garmin uses for map data)? all the errors I submitted have been fixed. http://mapreporter.navteq.com/dur-web-exte...amp;language=en Quote Link to comment
