Team Levy Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I know this has probably been asked a dozen plus times... What is the difference between: 1 - City Select® North America v6 2 - MetroGuide® North America v6 I've looked at the Garmin website and can really only figure out that the City Select contains an Unlocking Wizard... other than that the only difference I can see is price (w/ Metroguide being the cheaper of the two). Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. I'm ready to buy I just don't know which one to get. Quote Link to comment

Team Levy Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 City Select will work on your GPS and Metroguide won't. Thanks RK... not sure I follow you. The Garmin website states that MetroGuide functionality will work on... : "**These functions of this product work with nearly all Garmin GPS units, excluding the GPS 100 family and panel mount aviation units." Plus... they even show screen shots. Are you saying that it won't work on the 60CS? If so... that's great information to know and it significantly narrows my choices. Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Metroguide does not support autorouting in its current release. If you load City Select, and ask the GPS to find point X, it will mark the route on the map and give you turn-by-turn instructions for how to get there. Autorouting is a pretty slick feature. I can't imagine putting a map on my GPSr without it. Quote Link to comment
Team Levy Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Great... a big thank you to both RK and Sputnik for your feedback. City Select it is then. Quote Link to comment
+geobc Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I've also read that CitySelect uses NavTeq maps which are supposed to be more current than those used in MetroGuide. Larry Quote Link to comment
CenTexDodger Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 The newest version of Metroguide uses Navteq maps also. The big difference (as already stated is autorouting functionality. Quote Link to comment
