Talking about travelling.
I have the Garmin Metroguide Europe and North America (3 CDs each), so total
6 CDs.
Not too old version.
Garmin Metroguide Europe version 7.
Don't ask me how i got it.
Faham fahamlah.

I was wondering whether you can use the routing functions if you transfer
the maps to your Garmin.
I managed to to create the GMAPSUPP.IMG file by clicking on the necessary
map area and send it to my Garmin Que.
Trying for Paris area and Sheffield areas, maybe going there next month
(tengah confirm sponsor dulu).
Read from the Garmin site, that you need license for the routing functions.

TQ.
