OK but no cigar
I bought this to use with my Garmin eMap. For the USA the detail level is the same as came preinstalled on the unit--major highways. I've used it in London, Cambridge, Paris, Tokyo and Munich. There isn't really enough detail to find your way around any of these cities but it is useful for e.g. finding your way from suburb to suburb. The River Cam wasn't very close to where the map had it so it helps to use one's eyes. The maps are dated. We are developing a site in the high Andes near San...

Complete WASTE of money
Background on my use of Garmin products: First, let me say that I have been VERY HAPPY with my Garmin GPSMap 60CSx and using the CitySelect North America road maps for driving directions, finding restaurants, driving to a manually entered address, etc. I had been using them for 12 months when I got ready to leave on a trip to Europe for business. Why did I start shopping for this product? Before I left on my trip, I had a hard time deciding if it would be worth the $350 to get the E...

Good data for SE Asia
I used the database on my Garmin 76S in Thailand, Vietnam & Laos and found that the data was quite accurate. It even has many of the old Lao 'Lima Site' airfields!

Fair - Could be Better
Fair general purpose maps but for obvious reasons lacks detail. It would be difficult to provide highly detailed maps of every country in the world but I was hoping for something in the middle. I used this CD for a recent trip to Mongolia and it worked well enough but did not have certain ponds and rivers. Would be nice if they can team up with Google Earth to make maps.

VERY helpful!
This software really help me enjoy my E-trex a whole lot more. Being able to make waypoints from my PC was very handy. A nice accessory.

Too bad it's the only option for South America
It seems that if you need maps for Peru and Ecuador, this is your only choice, The coverage is only so-so and there is little city detail. These maps are locked to the PC and MAC users beware. If you have a PC and a MAC, you can convert the maps to be readable on the MAC but you need a PC with internet access to do this. And by the way, your PC had better be running XP or Vista. Windows 2000 may work but 98, 98SE do not.

Marginally useful
After a few years of use with WorldMap I would have to agree with some of the other reviewers about the dubious accuracy. Errors I have found include place names not spelled correctly, locations shown a considerable distance from where they really are, and even wrong road numbers given (using the wrong country road numbering system... well, duh). In that last case, the folks who assembled the WorldMap (at least the version that I have) somehow concluded that when you travel from Argentina int...

World Map review
I used the Garmin Mapsource Worldmap in Cameroon, Africa. It was a blessing to have and compare with printed maps available. We always knew where we were, which made us feel good. The maps are off a little bit from where the GPS thought we were (less than 1/2 a mile at most) and some roads were different, but given the conditions in Cameroon everyone on the trip was extremely happy we had the Garmin 60Csx and the worldmap loaded and operating at all times.

Useable GPS maps of the world--great Google Earth tie-in
We do a lot of foreign travel and periodically use a Garmin 60C GPS for understanding where we're going and where we've been. For example, in 2009 we headed to Nepal and Tibet to do some treking and white-water rafting, in 2008 it was central Africa, in 2006 we explored the ice fields and Fjords of Patagonia. None of these areas had easy to acquire maps, so I bought Garmin's WorldMap to at least provide rudimentary maps of the areas. This is about all the WorldMap does, as it is quite "high l...

Not much better than Basemap
This adds very little detail over the Trip and Waypoint manager basemap. Added are some city names, topo lines, railroad tracks, small waterways, and obscure airports. I have not seen additional roadways and would not have purchased if I knew there would be no more road detail. Often in Latin America, the roads are incorrectly placed, making marked road tracking difficult. Standard Garmin Quality, which I have come to appreciate.
