GARMIN CITY NAVIGATOR NA NT 2010
It is not as accurate as I expected. There are several roads that have been developed in the last two years that are not included in the mapping. Quality of the software was as expected.

VERY POOR GARMIN SUPPORT
I entered my Garmin unit (GPSmap 60CS) on the Garmin web site and it told me to buy this package. After I unlock it to my unit it turns out the GPSmap 60CS is not compatible with this software. Apparently as far as Garmin is concerned the GPSmap 60CS doesn't exist anymore. Since I had unlocked it they said I couldn't exchange it. Given they had the serial number of the unit when they unlocked the software they unlocked the software for a unit they knew the software wouldn't support.
Cons: ripoff
Recommend: NO

MAKES STREET NAVIGATING EASY
I used the City Navigator North America on a recent trip and it made finding shops, restaurants, hotels and other addresses very easy. I use it on a Oregont and like that I can disable or enable the maps very easy and still keep the track or route on the terrain maps.
Cons: can't load the canadian terrain maps as well
Recommend: YES

STILL OUT OF DATE
I have the 2008 version and see no difference in the 2010 as it relates to known to me road changes made over the past two years. One change was open to the public two years ago and still does not show up in the 2010 version. We should have free updates to bring the version current.
Cons: out of date for my area
Recommend: NO

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
As it is the only map that will work with my Dakota 20, yes, I would recommend it. I would love ot have software to compare it to. Missing tonnes of significant POI's (southern Ontario). Others are not even close to where they really are. After failing to take a planned turn, instead of telling me to turn around, the software told me that it couldn't provide directions from where I was. It would be great if you could simply update online a few times a year, perhaps have users submit POI's.
Pros: it works with my dakota 20
Cons: lacks significant pois, a few navigational quirks
Recommend: YES

GARMIN CITY NAVIGATOR NORTH AMERICA NT DVD 2010
Runs great on Garmin Oregon 550. Recently drove from Houston TX to Southeast Oklahoma. On the way up I went my normal route... It took 8 1/2 hours. On the way back I took the route recommended by the GPS. It took 7 hours. I'm very happy with the program.

OUTDATED FOR A 2010 PRODUCT
The product is missing a key new bridge and ferry changes put in for Maple Ridge Area of BC. All roads to new housing and area are missing. Glad I don't have to use in an aeroplane. If its a 2010 item why are roads missing that were built in 2008? 2007 product had a number of errors in Las Vegas where turns were about 1.7 Km out. Hope fixed in 2010
Pros: not sure
Cons: what else is missing
Recommend: NO

URBAN!
First note: Works just fine for routing on my GPSmap 76CSx, contrary to another reviewer's experience. This really is a "city" map set. Examples: A tiny artificial lake 150m across, or creek that is little more than a muddy ditch will appear if it is in Calgary. A lake 2km across in a rural area won't be shown, & the Athabasca river "disappears" south of Jasper (at any scale). Yet Rocky Mountain House, with a population of about 34000 won't show at a zoom level that does reveal Nordegg (pop. ~200). 59km of good paved highway 12 between Bentley & Hwy22 isn't shown unless the scale is 3km/"unit" or less. Bike/pedestrian pathways in Calgary are completely absent. In just a little bit of playing, not deliberately seeking such, I found three errors. I’d probably only looked for about a dozen places total while finding these! One is an incorrect category for a business, one an incorrect address for a charitable “Soceity” (sic), and one the wrong name for a Calgary park. Possibly the onus is on the “listees” for correctness, but, nonetheless, they are errors. Locational accuracy for roads seems to be pretty good (based primarily on checks against Google maps). Accuracy for Calgary LRT stations is less good. I don't care about coffee shops, but there appears to be at least a zillion marked, I suspect with deadly accuracy. The maps are not very up to date. For example, the Calgary Crowfoot LRT station and the piece of Stoney Tr between Country Hills Blvd & Hwy 2 are not there (I’m not TOO surprised at this, since I bought my map within about 3 months of these being opened. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for these features to appear in revisions.) --- I've seen Garmin Mapsource 6.14 described as the version from hell. I don't think it is anywhere near as good as that!
Pros: pretty good for cities & major highways
Cons: not so great in rural areas not very up to date
Recommend: YES

This item does not work properly on the Garmin GPS 76CSx. The routing works on Mapsource but not on the GPS which is where you need it. Would like to return the product but you won't let me and Garmin claims the product is OK.
Pros: none
Cons: everything
Recommend: NO

2010NT NORTH AMERICA
It doesn't tell you when loading the new maps that it will automatically upgrade Mapsource to the newest version. For all those that don't like the new Mapsource format, you can't use an older version of Mapsource with the 2010 NT maps
Cons: can't use backdated mapsourse's

TRAVEL AID
A must have for North America travel. Rated a 3 because updates are developed slowly and are extremely expensive. I have two Garmin devices in my family and if I wish to upgrade both I must purchase two mapping programs/updates. I would think that if your devices are registered with Garmin a single purchase could be made for upgrading all of your devices.
Cons: programs are device specific
Recommend: YES

GOOD MAPS
As a Canadian travelling in the US, this is a must have. It has good maps of both countries. The reason for my giving an average rating is that it is device specific. I have 2 Garman GPSmap76csx (which I rate high), there fore I need 2 of these mapping programs. This can get costly. I know of a family that has 4 of these Garmins????? Service from GPSCity - Excellent.
Pros: good maps
Cons: device specific

IT FINDS STUFF
Maps are pretty detailed and very easy to update through Garmin's website. MapSource (the desktop application) however, is more complicated than it needs to be but it is nice to be able to plan a route on the comoputer screen. Beats panning and zooming on the small GPS screen.
On the GPSMap series, it will plan routes where you tell it to go, no matter what. On a recent trip on our motorcycles, I planned what looked like a great route and ended up having to detour about an hour because a 30 mile portion was dirt trail.
Pros: very detailed and easy to keep up to date.
Cons: will direct over dirt trails if you're not careful
Recommend: YES

WHAT CAN BE SAID? IT'S GARMIN.
I just wish the data could be more current. Every edition is, what, 2 years out of date by the time it's published? Not a big deal in the countryside but rapid road-building in the cities can get you. Great service from GPScity.
Pros: works well.
Cons: expensive.
