Garmin MapSource WorldMap

Strengths: Extensive map. Easy to load onto the GPS.

Weakness: Wish it had more data on Iraq

Provides basic info on all areas. I needed it for a map of Iraq. Wish it had more details. I would have to spend a lot more money to get a third party map with more detail. Hope this does the job.

Other than that, the software was easy to use and I will get more of their software in the future.

Garmin MapSource WorldMap

Strengths: Easy to setup. Easy to use. Lots of details.

Weakness: None found to this point.

I purchased this product to provide an update to my Garmin GPS295. I had an ASIA-PACIFIC database unit (burned into the GPS295) and wanted to have the underlying base map of the USA available when using the GPS295 in the USA. This product was recommended to allow me to load the underlying map to a memory card in the GPS295. I retain the ASIA-PACIFIC base map and also have available the USA base map. Solved my problem without me having to buy a new GPS unit.

Purchase of MapSource WorldMap CD Rom

Strengths: It appears to be the only map information I was able to purchase that filled my wife's needs for travel in the Philippines and will make our Garmin Etrax a usefull item in that country.

Weakness: I can't really say there are weaknesses about it only that in future versions it would contain more road detail.

We recently purchased the Garmin Etrax Vista CX gps, to use for hiking etc. We then found out we could get the World map to download to this gps. I viewed the sample World Map on Garmin's Site and it appears to be just what we would like for traveling in the Philippines.
In that country it is hard to find maps of the areas we are interested in so we were really happy to make this purchase. Through Price Grabber we got what we want and were pleased with the whole transactionand shipping.
