I have city nav 6 two cd's with "full" Canadian maps, my buddy has the
enhanced (slightly older ver "last years") Canadian maps...

anyone in the know, if they are pretty much the same? did garmin just roll
the enhanced cdn maps into ver 6?

cheers

I believe that is what they did. The new CN6 NA has very good Canadian
Maps, much better than the CN4 NA. Cities like Edmonton are now included.
In fact I have yet to look at something I wanted to see that was not
included in the new release. Also, I think it was better than the previous
Canadian maps they sold alone.

Good to know thanks, I just updated Mapsource to 6.5 that was a good update
too.

This street pilot 3 dlx sure beats the pda based iNav app I used before...
This is a tool the other was a toy....

Cheers

No they did not. MetroGuide Canada and CN maps are made by two different
companies.

I agree - I had a PDA with a GPS and it did not do much. The SP3 is great,
and have or will sell it and buy a SP 2610 this summer. I love being able
to find most anything from anywhere that I have a basic ability to
understand the direction to. Example I use - I have been in RIchmond twice
at the VA. Both times I wanted to get to Williamsberg. Map said expressway
was over there - yes it was but it was above ground and could not find
enterance. With SP3 it took me the best way there without know more than it
was east of where I was.
