What is MetroGold?
MetroGold is a Windows tool with which you can upgrade your Garmin MetroGuide Europe or Metroguide North America installation. After the upgrade it's possible to include routing calculation data in your upload of maps to your GPS. No extra software, apart from Mapsource, is needed, you transfer the maps with Mapsource.

 

I have Metroguide Europe and Metroguide North America both installed, which one can I upgrade with MetroGold?
You can upgrade both with Metrogold. See also the MetroGold compatibility list on this website.

 

I have Metroguide Australia installed, can I upgrade with MetroGold?
No, Metroguide Australia is NOT supported. Only Metroguide Europe and Metroguide North America are supported by MetroGold. See also the MetroGold compatibility list on this website.

 

I have City Navigator / City Select installed, can I upgrade with MetroGold?
No, only Metroguide Europe and Metroguide North America are supported by MetroGold. There's no point in upgrading either of these anyway because they can already upload routing data to your GPS. What you are probably looking for is a tool to unlock City Navigator / City Select. This is not what Metrogold is about.

 

What version of Mapsource do I need?
MetroGold is tested with version 6.12.x, 6.13.x and 6.14.x. MetroGold will probably also work on older and newer versions of Mapsource. You can get a free upgrade for Mapsource on the Garmin website.

 

Will MetroGold continue to work on future versions of Mapsource and Metroguide?
It's hard to say. It depends on what changes Garmin will make in it's software.

 

What version of Windows do I need?
Metrogold was on Windows XP and Windows Vista. It will probably also work on Windows 2000. Make sure you have administrator rights in Windows before you use MetroGold.

 

What kind of GPS unit do I need?
You need a Garmin GPS capable of routing (i.e. Etrex Color, GPSMap etc.)

 

Where can I get MetroGold?

"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!"

"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!"
