with voice prompting on voice-equipped models. The routing
feature of MetroGuide Canada V4 is best used as a navigational
aid only, not as a tool for precise navigation.
This
product is not locked, which will allow users the ability to download
the detailed maps to compatible GPS units such as the eTrex
Legend series, : eTrex
Vistas : the
Rino models : GPSMAP
76 : GPSMAP 76S
: GPSMAP 176 : GPSMAP

: GPSMAP 295 :
GPSMAP 496. Some
units require a Garmin data card.
However, the amount of detail provided by MetroGuide Canada means
that the geographic area that can be downloaded at one time to fixed-memory
models will be limited.
[NB: Automatic route calculation will not be possible on non-routing
models. MetroGuide Canada V 4 is not compatible with limited internal
memory models such as the GPS III Plus or GPS 12MAP]
This
map data will allow you to look up addresses and points of interest
throughout Canada and route directly to them. MetroGuide
Canada includes provincial highways, controlled access highways,
local roads and residential roads throughout Canada - not limited
to major metropolitan areas. Actual
content may be viewed online using Garmin's MapSource Map Viewer!
MapSource on the PC can be used to pre-plan trips, mark waypoints
and build routes. Waypoints, routes and tracks can then be downloaded
to a Garmin GPS. NOTE: Routes created on the PC and downloaded
to non-autorouting models will display all the waypoints necessary
for correct navigation, but the route will be displayed as a straight
line between those waypoints (i.e. it will NOT be drawn exactly
following the road between waypoints.) This is normal and is a
result of the lower processing power of such models.

TIPS!
MetroGuide Canada V 4.0 is not limited to compatible
GPS download! It can also be used as Moving Map software on
a laptop. Connect any GARMIN or NMEA output GPS for a large-display,
street-detailed, Canadian navigation solution. Add free
nRoute software from the Garmin website for enhanced laptop
navigation.
For occasional handheld mapping use as well, consider
using MetroGuide Canada V 4.0, with for example, the eTrex
Legend, or GPSMAP
76. Calculate routes on the PC, navigate on the road with
an easy-to-read laptop display, download local map detail
to the handheld GPS receiver for jaunts on foot.
The routing feature of MetroGuide Canada V4 is best
used as a navigational aid only, not as a tool for precise
navigation. |
