DISAPPOINTING
Many newer businesses, streets we established in Canada since the last Metro guide version. The write up on this guide stated that it was up to date to Oct/Nov 08. Many businesses and streets in Alberta were started prior to this version and still they are not on it??? Same as the new Topo Canada Version many streets are issing and even some still active were removed.

MARITIMES NOT UPDATED SINCE V4
I live in Massachusetts and frequently travel the maritimes New Brunswick & Nova Scotia. Having owned the Garmin MetroGuide v4 since its release in 2003, I have been eagerly awaiting an update that corrects some of the omissions for Highway 1 between St. Stephen NB and Saint John NB. Specifically, at Lepreau, NB, Highway 1 is not where Garmin MetroGuide says it should be for several miles. My GPS (GPS V and GPSMap 376C) makes several attempts to recalculate a route before giving up with an unrecoverable route error. Additionally, a new 4 lane section of Highway 1 has opened last year between St. Stephen and Saint Andrews replacing the coastal road. I was encouraged to see the Highway 1 error at Lepreau corrected in the City Navigator North America NT 2009. After waiting over 4 years for Garmin to update this from v4, I am disappointed to report that none of the above v4 omissions have been corrected. I cannot speak to Garmin MetroGuide Canada v5.0 improvements in areas that I do not travel. But, for the areas in which I travel: between St. Stephen and Saint John NB and SW Nova Scotia, few updates/corrections have been added since v4. For me, Garmin MetroGuide Canada v5.0 is a disappointment and not worth $90. I would return this for a refund, if I could.
Pros: wait for v6
Cons: errors in v4 not corrected. nb hwgy 1 not updated
Recommend: NO

INCREASED STREET DETAIL
For Canadian's or at least Ontarian's, this product is top shelf. My company is currently using five GPSmap 276C and we run the new MetroGuide Canada v5.0 - we have had no problems. I find the street detail and landmark detail such as rivers and streams much better than the City Navigator software for Canada.

WORTHWHILE SUPPLEMENT TO CITY NAVIGATOR NT
MetroGuide Canada v5.0 is a useful addition to the City Navigator North America NT 2009 map that came with my nuvi 750. It has street names and POI outside of major metropolitan areas that are absent from City Navigator NT. While the POI database is not as complete or up-to-date as I would have liked,it still is helpful when travelling in rural areas.
Pros: provides coverage missing from city navigator nt
Cons: rather expensive
Recommend: YES

MANY MISTAKES FOR ATLANTIC CANADA
First off it has long load times. POI's are out of date. Missing roads that have been there for 50 years at least.
Pros: fixed some of the preloaded maps errors.
Cons: wrong directions
Recommend: NO

Pros: can't find any
Cons: map data not current

GOOD STREET MAPPING
I had an earlier version of this product and am very pleased to see most of the newer roads and streets are included on this CD. The POI's lack some of the locations that are included in city navigator.I am pleased overall with this product.
