| Greetings,
I have a garmin quest and am planning a trip to Italy. The City Select
Europe is > $300!!!! Is there a way to use it for a short period, like
renting the license to save money. I am new to GPS so not sure about
what is locked and how to unlock.

Once you unlock it to your GPS, that use is gone; the unlock to that
unit is permanent! So you would forever be able to use CSE with that
unit, and that use of the code would forever be lost to the owner.
Personally, I use MG Europe; has worked well for me on three two-week
plus trips in the past 3 years. Lower price, no unlock codes to deal
with.

| Ridk, I am too stupid to know what 'MG Europe' is. Is that Metroguide
europe?

| Rick,
Also, the garmin website for metroguide europe does not list the Quest
device. Do you think it is compatable? Were you able to find tourist
attractions, etc?
Thanks

The cheapest i`ve seen CS:EU is from http://www.aspidshop.com - search=20
the site for "nroute" and you`ll get a hit for a GPS18 receiver with=20
CS:EU for approx =A3130 - one unlock is tied to the receiver, the "free"=20
one can be used on anything you like.
--=20

Metroguide Europe can put maps in the GPS, but you will only be able to
calculate routes on your PC, not in your Quest.

The OP is in the US so he'll have a hard time buying an EU product in
the US. Thus he (unlike you) can buy City Select EU on its own
straight from Garmin (yes, at about the price that it costs with the
hardware on Aspidshop).
Yes, Blackbag, MG is MetroGuide and yes it will work on your GPS
however it will not do routing on the GPS itself only on the PC.

Correction: it will not auto-route on that GPS. It routes perfectly
well.
