The CN NT products are offered either on DVD or on a memory module.

If you buy the pre-loaded memory card, don't you also get the DVD
maps to use with MapSource on a PC for route and waypoint management?
Or is this packaging intended for use in dedicated automotive units
that can't be connected to a PC?

You don't get a DVD. The preloaded SD cards seem to be aimed at the
people that are not cost conscious. Or maybe that have more money than
brains.

It allows them to simply plug the card in and use it. They do not get
anything on a DVD with it, and they are not eligible for a discounted
upgrade when the next version of that software is released. They cannot
plan routes on a PC or do much of anything but turn the GPS on and use it.

They could possibly be aimed at people who don't have (or don't know
how to use) a PC.
