Customer Review: Garmin City Navigator v. 8.0
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Garmin City Navigator v. 8.0 to use with a Garmin 276C GPS unit for street navigation in the USA for this year. I have used the GPS unit and software in IL, OH, TX, FL, MO and NC and points in between, and have had positive success in all but two situations. One situation is that our home street address here in NC is out of sync with the mapping software. (The street numbering doesn't come down to our number, and our [lower] house number is 'beyond' a higher house number.) The other time was in Wheaton, IL, one of the directions given by the software through the GPS unit seemed 'wonky', but as that was the first time I used the GPS/software combination, it very well may have been 'operator error. I did send in a report to Garmin about the first problem and recieved a positive response from Garmin's cartography deptartment. They advised,
"We appreciate the specific error reports. What happens with them is we research them and add anything we can (stuff from the raw data not visible to end users)...then pass the info along to the source vendors to get their eyes on it and, hopefully, lead to some improvement for down the road. That vendor is NavTeq.
It sounds like the potential address range assigned to the line needs fleshed out and the line representing the road may need to be extended."
I have not done much with the mapping software on any computer, other than make sure I have waypoints added while using the GPS are in the software on the computer.
I will recomend that users of this combination of GPS and software buy the Garmin cigarette power cord with built in speaker so that the spoken directions can be heard, or in some other way get a speaker connected to the GPS unit. I have found that to be very helpful.
While not specifically software related, I will also recomend the Ram Mount system for holding the GPS unit in a vehicle. I use the suction cup base for the windshield and the appropriate mount for the GPS unit. This is the second Ram Mount system I have and it takes the worry out of having loose GPS units floating around the driver/front seat/dash area, and improves safety.
All in all, I am extremely pleased with the City Navigator v. 8.0 for my applications.
Cheers, and 73,
Norm

Need a good back-seat driver for your next city-hopping road trip? Look no further than this DVD-ROM.Designed specifically for Garmin's StreetPilot III, StreetPilot 2610, and StreetPilot 2650 vehicle GPS navigators, the disc also boasts detailed information on highways, interstates, business roads, and residential roads, with such attributes as turn restrictions, roundabout guidance, speed categories, and other navigation details. In addition, each DVD offers automatic routing, so you can easily generate point-to-point routes in MapSource or on the compatible navigators. And thanks to the trip and waypoint management feature, you can also transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your Garmin GPS and PC.
Other details include supplemental coverage of Hawaii (using unverified government data) and an Unlock Wizard that guides you through the unlocking process (required when downloading data to a data card or Garmin GPS). As with all Garmin Products, City Navigator North America comes with a one-year warranty.Important Note about Map Updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version.
