Thread: CityXplorer maps sale discontinued by Garmin

CityXplorers could be a great maps for outdoor devices and for smartphones. Putting them exclusively for nuvi was a stupid idea. Nuvi isn't convenient for pedestrian mode, too heavy, too weak battery. Ok, Garmin noticed that too and reacted with its usual cleverness.

Timetables in most Europe are so tight that any such favours is useless without online service. As soon as I want to save money for payment parking I am going to WEB and after that usually I forget about this scrooge thoughts. It is too difficult for me, modern traffic It is better if I will be taken by car!

I have used the City Explorer with great success on a trip to Madrid, where it got me to the subways and bus perfectly. It does not do so well in NYC as the unit locks up with a run out of memory crash. In either case - you run out of battery before you can use it to return home. We used it to write down directions which were referred to later. Still - it is a great trip planning tool that is useable without internet service.
