Customer Reviews of Garmin MapSource WorldMap CD-ROM for Garmin GPS Units (010-10215-01)
World Map review I used the Garmin Mapsource Worldmap in Cameroon, Africa. It was a blessing to have and compare with printed maps available. We always knew where we were, which made us feel good. The maps are off a little bit from where the GPS thought we were (less than 1/2 a mile at most) and some roads were different, but given the conditions in Cameroon everyone on the trip was extremely happy we had the Garmin 60Csx and the worldmap loaded and operating at all times.
Worldmap Mapsource
The maps provived provide excellent detail, having checked it out with my trip taken in 2000 and 2004.

>Furthermore, the proof of the pudding comes this sept when i go to China.
Complete WASTE of money
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.
