MetroGuide and the new Oregon 1 Year, 1 Month ago Karma: 0  
Hello,
Until now, I use successfull MetroGuide Europe v9 with my eTrex Legend.
But I plan to replace this "old" eTrex with a new one Garmin Oregon 200 or 300.
Normally, the Oregon serie works with City Navigator but I do not plan to buy this map.
Can I expect to upload (and use!) MetroGuide within the Oregon, without routing capabilities?
Or WITH routing capabilities, using MetroGold?
Have somebody already tryed this configuration?
Thanks for your help !

I've just tried to load the maps that I used to use on my old 60Csx to the Oregon. I didn't work! I'm in shatters because I had a big set of .img files that all worked. Although I must say that I use a Mac and that doesn't make ik more easy.

Hi fm110259, I've just tried loading a bit of MetroGuide v7 Europe from Mapsource 6.15.6 to the internal map memory of an Oregon 300 (firmware 3.01 (see http://garminoregon.wikispaces.com/Versions for details) and simulated the routing - it works fine. I had to go into the Routing menu and change it from Off Road to On Road routing of course but all OK.

Interesting to hear of a MetroGuide Europe V9, I thought they stopped at V7.

For MG North America it's V8.

Both are discontinued unfortunately

"I just got my Nuvi a couple of days ago, used Metrowizz and made up 476 megs of Europe maps. Thats way more than I will need for my vacation. I copied the file as suggested into the Garmin directory on the Nuvi...works great. Thanks for Metrowizz and your help in getting it up and running. I changed my location to places I will be staying in Europe and it routes to my destination with street names and turns called out. Garmin makes great products, you make them work better. Thank you!"
Anonymous on MetroGold:
"Outstanding Product - worth its weight in Gold! This is just a terrific addition that makes the Garmin Etrex a great little GPS instead of just an ok device. For $6 (US) it cannot be beat. I certainly hope they continue to create products that support the Garmin GPS portfolio. Well done guys!"
