Buyer's feedback: - * There's no need to buy this when NT2009 is out already ...
It's surprising that most vendors are still offering NT2008 at a higher price than NT2009. If you are going to shell out 50+ bucks on a bunch of cartographic data, why not get the latest and greatest? That said, NT2009 isn't spectacular but given that it is cheaper and has a few more POIs, that's what I recommend.

Buyer's feedback: - Garmin Disappointment
I contacted Garmin about the maps that didn't include various places in Denver where I was residing; they emailed back & suggested I get the 2008 update; I purchased the update & STILL was missing some prominent places in Denver, I emailed Garmin back & was told that the 2009 version was about to come out & the 2008 version represented 2006 mapping!!! So within a 3 week period Garmin was suggesting I buy an upgrade from 2008 to 2009, ignoring that I had just bought what I thought was the newest upgrade; I feel that this has been very deceptive of Garmin & when I responded back all of a sudden no further response was made by Garmin

Buyer's feedback: - * Mac users beware!! ...
While Garmin claims that they now have updates for Macs, it turns out that it's true only for certain models!!!! I found this out after messing with it for hours. I then called Garmin, and after some more futile attempts to help me, they researched it further and found out the update will not work with my model, c330.
So... don't waste your time or money unless you have access to a PC.
By the way, Garmin was really nice about giving me a full refund for my purchase from Amazon.

Buyer's feedback: - Garmin Map Update
Purchase was easy and went flawless as did the loading of the update when received. Shipping was prompt. I would use this process again if needed.

Buyer's feedback: - * Average ...
The latest Garmin update cleared up some mistakes in the older version but still is far behind current roads. Many dirt roads are labeled as paved and many times I was routed through roads that do not exist. They assumed that a road through a subdivision continues on the other side. For a price of at least 3 times other computerized systems it appears to be a version behind.
