 A decent deal and works well August 30, 2007

I don't normally write product reviews, but I feel like this product has been over harshly criticized. While the price is high, I think it is reasonable for what you get. I can't get an ADC map of my county for less than $20, so a complete, routable map of the entire US (and Canada) for this price is a good deal. You'll also get discounts on future upgrades which I don't get with paper maps.
The installation process was fairly easy. It forced me to install an update immediately after installing, before allowing me to unlock. I had to manually find and download the update rather than the software doing that for me, but it wasn't too bad.
The unlocking process was flawless. I had to create a myGarmin account, then plug my GPS in using the USB connection. I entered my code that came in the package when prompted and the maps were unlocked for the device. If you have the USB connection you don't need to enter the UID of the device or anything as others have suggested.
Once the maps were unlocked for the GPSr, I selected all the regions and transfered them to a 2GB microSD card I put into my 60Csx. The transfer took about 2 hours but I was transferring about 1.1GB of maps over USB2 so it sounds about right. So in about 3 hours (15 minutes of actual work) I had the product installed, updated, unlocked, and transferred to the device.
I haven't had much time to use the maps on the road, but the product delivers what is promised. If you aren't comfortable with the price, you might want to avoid a GPSr all together and go for paper maps. For me, not having to buy a $20 map for every city I travel to makes it more than worth it.
Installation problems? November 28, 2007

I don't know why some persons have problems to install it, just insert the DVD in your computer, follow the instructions on the screen and you are done.
You receive a bunch of data and information, you will need 2GB Micro SD card in order to have the complete DVD in your GPS (the complete info is about 1001.1 MB plus your track and waipoints...)
Note: The Garmin 60 CSX only accepts 2GB in the same card, don't pretend to buy a 4 GB card in order to store all the maps of your computer in the same card, instead of that, prior your trip, select the regions you will need.
Excellent Software December 7, 2007

The software installed easily on my computer and I was able to unlock the maps with no problems. There was a Mapsource update available and it downloaded and installed without a hitch. An update is available for City Navigator North America NT. Due to the date of purchase I had for the full version, Garmin is sending the update DVD at no charge and is waiving the standard $75 update fee. This is the exact same thing Garmin did when an update was released shortly after I purchased the City Select v6 software and a v7 update was released shortly after. All of this was taken care of quickly and without any hassle.
The amount of time it took to download the maps to my GPS unit was much faster than the download time required when I was using the City Select v7 software. The City Select v7 software was non-NT and took up about 1.8 GB of space resulting in a download time of a little over 2.5 hours. The City Navigator North America NT maps are just under 1 GB and the download only lasted about 1.5 hours.
I am completely satisfied with City Navigator North America NT. The main areas where I travel have been updated and are much more current than my previous City Select v7 software.
Overall, I'm satisfied ... January 9, 2009

I was hesitant to purchase this software given some of the negative reviews, but after owning/using it for about a week on my Colorado 300, I'm satisfied with its performance. I placed my order 4 January 2009. The version shipped by Amazon.com was the 2009 version - says so right on the packaging. The install process was neither complicated or draconian - I was NEVER prompted to enter any personal information to unlock the software, and had it installed and running in less than 15 minutes. The product code is no longer buried in the packaging - mine was on a bright green label attached to the dvd case.
I used it to plan a recent trip to northern Minnesota. I've never used any gps mapping software before, so it did take me some time to learn how to plan and use routes, waypoints, and points of interest efficiently. Since I'm a new user, I believe the learning curve was entirely appropriate and quite manageable. Like any software, it does not have human intuition. So, for instance, it will plot the shortest route by time or distance, without consideration for winter driving conditions or road construction. To that end, you'll still need to be able to read a map and make decisions on the fly. Still, I found it to be a useful navigational tool whose maps and POI's are 97% accurate in my experience.
Very Pleased with City Navigator NT 2008 January 12, 2009

I have been debating for a long time on whether to purchase the City Navigator NT for my Garmin GPS 76CSX unit. I have Topo 2008 on my unit already and it has worked well. I read several reviews from people who have problems installing the City Navigator and also having it take hours to install as it did with one of the guys I work with. I bought it anyway and decided to give it a try. It only took about one and a half hours to install and it works very well.
