I currently have a Garmin V and am contemplating a new GPS device. I
notice that some come with City Select and some come with Navigator.
What is the qualitative difference. I am looking for accuracy
primarily in urban areas. Wil Navigator serve me as well as City
Select?

They are essentially the same. However, City Select was recently
discontinued, as I found out from Garmin technical support yesterday.

Regards,
Steve

Don't know who you talked to, Steve, but that looks to be very bad info
per the following Garmin website:

http://www.garmin.com/unlock/update.jsp

A major difference is that CN7 (new version) has very large map
segments, making it totally impractical in most of the hiking-class
GPSRs which accommodate maps and do navigation (e.g., 60C/60CS). For
those, City Select is the only practical map set for autonavigation.

Then why would Garmin discontinue CS in favor of CN? What are people
who have Legends/Vistas supposed to do? This doesn't make any sense.

Why would you think they have? Last time I visited the Garmin website,
both products were listed.
