| City Select has lots of extended routing information to drive the
newest GPS units' auto-routing features. Voice queues and turn x turn
information. The street maps are essentially the same in towns.
I like the maps in MetroGuide better than City Select. City Select
seems to have completely dropped many, many backroads and trails in
favor of more city street data.
Trails I ride in Oklahoma are displayed in detail in Metro but are GONE
in City Select.

I just purchased MetroGuide for my Garmin eTrex Legend (not the Legend
C). For me the choice was easy, because my model doesn't support the
voice queues and routing. With the MetroGuide, I could still do
routing, but not on the GPS. I had to do the routing on the computer
and then load it to the GPS. This is fine, because I am most interested
in the routing when going on longer, planned trips.

This was only true for older versions of MetroGuide (v4 and earlier).
As of v5, MetroGuide and City Select have the exact same data. The
difference is that MetroGuide will not autoroute on your GPS while
City Select will.
