Not sure if i should buy Metro Guide for the Map60c, or access the Australian City Navigator V4.0 for the Map60c. I think i can download the codes for a second unit if you own one, which i now do.
When we purchased our Map60c approx 8 months ago, we also purchased Australian City Navigator V5.0. This program is Routable (ie tells you where to go
) where as Metro guide was not. The latter however, did have more roads in rural areas than City Navigator.
Australian City Navigator V6.0 is now out, as is the upgrade CD. It Combines all the streets/roads of Metroguide (Every Government surveyed rd in Aus.), with the routable capabilities of the City Navigator program. So you get the best of both worlds. Also the new version has more info now on parks tracks waterways etc etc, and has gone from 80,000 points of interest to over 1/2 million POI. (ie restaurants/lodging/Toilets etc, with all their details inc ph #'s etc.)
The versions have changed dramatically!
"Johnny Appleseed" (aka THE Garmin shop with all the answers) will help you with virtually anything to do with your unit.
Good luck
