I bought my nuvi 660 from Costco in June. And I just bought the update to
City Navigator 2008 which I don't think I should have had to pay for but
that's another story. I keep seeing posts about Mapsource. Should I have
received that program with my nuvi? It's not on the CD that came with the
product nor do I see it on the DVD update for City Navigator 2008.
Register the unit, then ask for the upgrade. Mine was free.

When you get the upgrade, the Mapsource is with it. At least it was in my
case and thanks to another poster I found how to install it.
I hope the attribution is correct here

No, mapsource is not included with the Nuvi series. Yes, mapsource is
included on the update cd for the nuvi series.
I recommend the website

lot of questions about GPS units.
