OK but no cigarJul 26, 2001

I bought this to use with my Garmin eMap. For the USA the detail level is the same as came preinstalled on the unit--major highways. I've used it in London, Cambridge, Paris, Tokyo and Munich. There isn't really enough detail to find your way around any of these cities but it is useful for e.g. finding your way from suburb to suburb. The River Cam wasn't very close to where the map had it so it helps to use one's eyes. The maps are dated. We are developing a site in the high Andes near San Pedro de Atacama for the ALMA telescope--the map of that region did not show the Jama Road from Calama to Salta Argentina, a major international route (admittedly less than a decade old--but paved!).

Complete WASTE of moneyApr 12, 2007
By Kevin P. Schultz ""The sun now rose upon the right, out of the sea came he...""
Background on my use of Garmin products: First, let me say that I have been VERY HAPPY with my Garmin GPSMap 60CSx and using the CitySelect North America road maps for driving directions, finding restaurants, driving to a manually entered address, etc. I had been using them for 12 months when I got ready to leave on a trip to Europe for business.

Why did I start shopping for this product? Before I left on my trip, I had a hard time deciding if it would be worth the $350 to get the Europe MapSource. In addition to stops in the UK and Spain, we were scheduled to visit somewhere in Africa, too. We would only be in each country for a couple of weeks, so I didn't think it would be worth spending the money on the European MapSource.

Why did I end up buying this product? As a compromise, I thought this World Map (I bought version 3.02) would at least give me the base map and major roads and highways. My expectation was that it would not have anywhere near as much data or detail in it as the North America MapSource, but I expected what data it DID have would be ACCURATE. Boy was I wrong.

Where and how long did I spend evaluating this product overseas? I spent one week in England, driving to and from London and Plymouth. I spent three weeks in Rota, Spain (near Cadiz / southwest of Seville). Our trip to Africa was canceled, so we got to spend a glorious week in Lisbon, Portugal instead.

What were my observations about this World Map? As I stated before, I expected that the things that were in there would at least be plotted correctly / accurately. I expected that with the GPS at least showing me where I was in relation to major landmarks and holding a paper map in my hand, I would be able to have a general feel for where I was on the paper map. It was not so.

In the places I visited (UK, Spain, Portugal), it was extremely inaccurate. For example, I would be a quarter mile on the NW side of the Thames river, and it would show me as being a quarter mile SE of the Thames river.

The major highways it does show are not labeled the same as they are labeled when you are driving around. This was particularly frustrating in Spain. I would try finding street signs that would lead me to a major highway labeled as one thing on the GPS, but I would never find any signs with the same label as on the GPS, because they use totally different names.

In summary, the geographic positions of what is included in this world map are significantly off and inaccurate, and the labels on the major highways don't match the actual names on the highways in the UK, Spain, and Portugal.

In hindsight, I wish I would have either spent the extra money on the European MapSource, or just saved the money and not bought anything at all. This was a total waste.

Good data for SE AsiaJan 20, 2004

I used the database on my Garmin 76S in Thailand, Vietnam & Laos and found that the data was quite accurate. It even has many of the old Lao 'Lima Site' airfields!

Fair - Could be BetterJan 05, 2007
By Manic Metallurgist
Fair general purpose maps but for obvious reasons lacks detail. It would be difficult to provide highly detailed maps of every country in the world but I was hoping for something in the middle. I used this CD for a recent trip to Mongolia and it worked well enough but did not have certain ponds and rivers. Would be nice if they can team up with Google Earth to make maps.

Too bad it's the only option for South AmericaMay 26, 2009
By Richard Graves "photo reader"
It seems that if you need maps for Peru and Ecuador, this is your only choice, The coverage is only so-so and there is little city detail. These maps are locked to the PC and MAC users beware. If you have a PC and a MAC, you can convert the maps to be readable on the MAC but you need a PC with internet access to do this. And by the way, your PC had better be running XP or Vista. Windows 2000 may work but 98, 98SE do not.
