Specifications and System Requirements:

These products provide all features described under MapSource to exchange data between a PC and a GARMIN GPS receiver and support autorouting on a PC ("autorouting" = the computer finds the fastest or shortest path from the start to the final destination automatically). Find a detailed list of features of each product below:

MetroGuide Australia V6:

Basic features: Manage GPS data on a PC, exchange data between a PC and a GPS receiver.
Manual routing on a PC: Compose a route with point and click on the map on a computer. The selected locations will be connected with straight lines to form a route. These routes can be transferred to a GPS device.
Map areas: The map is divided into 101 areas and requires a total of 42.8 MB memory on a GPS, but a single area requires only 1.7 MB or less. Depending on the amount of memory available in the GPS receiver, one or more areas can be transferred to any GARMIN GPS device that supports maps.
Packaging: One CDrom including a customer code which allows you to request a free unlock code for your GPS. Does not include a cable for data exchange, if you need such a connection cable, see our selection of options.
System Requirements: See here
Disk space: 15 MB for a minimal installation, 60 MB for a full installation
Price: CHF 248 / EUR 154 including customer code to receive free unlock code.

City Navigator Australia Standard / NT:

There are two versions of City Navigator Australia available: Standard and NT. These products provide the same information, but differ in the following three properties:

The map data of the NT version uses a stronger compression algorithm, which means, it requires less memory. But these maps require a GPS device which supports this improved compression method. The following models support NT maps: GARMIN models of the Colorado- and Oregon-series, Edge 605/705, eTrex HC/HCx-series, GPSMAP60Cx/CSx, GPSMAP76Cx/CSx, Nuvi-series, StreetPilot C-series and StreetPilot 7500, Zumo-series .
GPS devices which support traffic information require NT maps.
When you transfer the detailed maps of the standard version, you have the choice to including routing information or not. Consequently, the data consumes more or less memory on the GPS. The detailed maps of the NT version always include routing information. The routing information is required for the GPS in order to compute routes, if you do not transfer the routing information, the GPS cannot calculate a route. It is useful to transfer maps without routing information if the GPS can display maps, but does not support autorouting, such as the GARMIN eMap or the GARMIN eTrex Vista.

Note: City Navigator Australia Standard has been discontinued.

Media:

The NT version of City Navigator Australia is available on two different media: DVD and uSD/SD memory card.

The CDrom/DVD has the advantage that the detailed maps are also available on the computer which is very convenient for planing for example. On the other hand, the maps must be unlocked for a particular GPS device - for most products (e.g. City Navigator) you can unlock the maps for only one device, for some products (e.g. Swiss Topo) for two devices. In addition, the detailed maps must be transferred from the computer to the GPS device, which might require a significant amount of time, depending on the amount of data that you wish to transfer. For most maps, updates will become available on an approximately yearly basis (charges may apply).

The uSD/SD memory card has the advantage that the maps are immediately available as soon as you plug in the memory card. In addition, you may use the maps on any number of devices, but only on one device at the time. The GPS has to have a SD or microSD slot. The data is stored on a uSD memory card, but an uSD-to-SD adapter is included. No updates will be available for maps stored on uSD/SD memory cards.

Features:

Basic features: Manage GPS data on a PC, exchange data between a PC and a GPS receiver.
Autorouting on a PC: Computes routes on a computer. These routes can be transferred to a GPS device.
Map areas: The map is divided into 70 areas and requires a total of 138.6 MB memory on a GPS, but a single area requires only 7.98 MB or less. Depending on the amount of memory available in the GPS receiver, one or more areas can be transferred to any GARMIN GPS device that supports maps.
Autorouting: This product is particularly designed for the GARMIN models of the Colorado- and Oregon-series, Edge 605/705, eTrex C/Cx/HC/HCx-series, GPSMAP60-series, GPSMAP76-series, Nuvi-series, StreetPilot-series, Zumo-series, cfQue 1620 as well as GPS10/18/20 with nRoute or MobilePC because it supports the autorouting feature of these products.
Packaging: One CDrom including customer code to receive free unlock code or one uSD memory card with uSD-to-SD adapter. Does not include a cable for data exchange, if you need such a connection cable, see our selection of options.
System Requirements: See here
Disk space: 500 MB
