This is just to comfirm what someone told me a month ago. If you buy a
Garmin gps that comes preloaded with City Navagator, it does not come with
the pc software in the box, but you can order it from support for a nominal
$15 charge. I just got mine and it installed and is working nicely. The
maps on my pc now match my gps.

Note that you will need the 25 character unlock code that came on a yellow
sheet of paper with your gps.

I got the DVD for free. Just call tech support and ask for it.

According to the support guy I emailed with, the usual charge is $15 though
he said he'd wave it in my case. Apparently your case too.

        Garmin ships it over-nite and it would be cheaper if they just include =
the
DVD with the GPS. It may costs them few cents to make a copy of the DVD,
but it's fair to customers who paid for it.

I agree. It would cost them virtually nothing to include it.

However, given that they've allowed Mapsource to fall behind (no addresses
or phone numbers for waypoints), and the lack of a DVD in the box, I wonder
if it's part of a master plan to eventually discontinue their PC software.
The PCs used to be critical, but no more.
