VISTA HCX COMPATIBLE MAPS

[+flattie]

On the Garmin website, one page shows US TOPO 2008 as the only available compatible map. On another screen (MAPS tab, under the Vista HCX, it lists Metroguide. Is the Metroguide North America NT the correct software for the Vista HCX. I purchased this unit for someone else, and I know eventually they would like to have the auto-route feature. Forgive me but I am not familiar with Garmin's map products.

Thank you

I'm 99.9% sure you can use MetroGuide with the Vista HCx -- it works with the 60CSx. It doesn't autoroute, however, at least not without some additional work -- search the forum for "metrowizzz" for more on this.

 

If you want auto-routing street maps out of the box, they'll want City Navigator.

JSW is correct. CN is the normal map product for autorouting. MetroGuide can be used by those that are comfortable doing a bit of homework.

Thank you. I am definatly not into "work arounds" at this point. I will suggest the CN to them. I still find it odd that Garmin does not list this correctly.

 

Thanks
