Appendix G Using MapSource and Data Cards The MapSource City Navigator CD is designed specifically for use with the StreetPilot III, and contains detailed street maps for major cities within a regional area (for example, North America or Europe). NOTE: When data from both City Navigator and MetroGuide (or any other MapSource product) is loaded for the same area, City Navigator data takes precedence. You may override this priority scheme by telling your StreetPilot III which map information to use (see page 41). 62 MapSource City Navigator A CD-ROM containing MapSource City Navigator mapping software is included with your StreetPilot III. City Navigator is designed specifically for the StreetPilot III and contains detailed street maps and points of interest for major cities. This mapping software allows for automatic routing; the map data also contains turn restrictions and other routing information. With City Navigator data in your StreetPilot III, simply enter an address or intersection, or search for a point of interest using the FIND key, and the StreetPilot III will automatically plan a route and provide turn-by-turn directions to that location. You may also view the address, phone number and map location of services or points of interest. Be aware that, depending on the City Navigator version, not all areas are covered in detail by the City Navigator CD. To get detailed, street-level routing for major cities, you need to download maps from the City Navigator CD. Additional MapSource Products Additional City Navigator coverage areas are also available for using the StreetPilot III in many other parts of the world. When outside major metropolitan areas covered by City Navigator, significantly less road detail is included, but it is typically sufficient to navigate from city to city along major roads. MapSource MetroGuide, which is available for purchase separately, also works well with the StreetPilot III. Like City Navigator, MetroGuide offers automatic routing and turn-by-turn navigation. MetroGuide provides road details and basic routing information, but is not limited to large metropolitan areas. When traveling outside the metropolitan areas covered by City Navigator, you may want to use MetroGuide for more complete roadway and routing coverage. Depending on your location, you may find that one CD provides better coverage and better automatic routing capability than the other. Note that if you are using City Navigator version 4.01 or above, you no longer need to use MapSource MetroGuide in order to get more detailed routing, when traveling outside of large metropolitan areas. The StreetPilot III is also compatible with MapSource Roads & Recreation, WorldMap, and Topo, but with these products installed, the unit will not provide detailed automatic routing. If you're using StreetPilot III without downloaded maps from the City Navigator CD, you will still have automatic routing capabilities along major streets and highways contained in the built-in "basemap".
