What is the difference between City Select and Metro Guide? Reading the
description on Garmin's site does not give me the info I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for is a replacement for Streets and Trips. The key feature
for me is the ability to put in a street address and have the program show
me on a map where it is and set up a route from one address to another.

If it makes a difference, I have a Vista Cx and I already own MapSource Topo
North America with Waypoint Manager. I've downloaded nRoute, which looks
great for displaying my position on a laptop screen, but it still lack the
ability to find a location based on a street address.

Fundamentally, City Select will auto route on a receiver capable of
autorouting from downloaded maps and Metroguide will not (except for MG
USA v4). MG will, however, autoroute on your computer.
