Garmin i3 - Using the unit in USA - Maps & POI's

I have a Garmin i3, v8 Europe maps, 3.10 firmware now.

I am going to Florida in Oct, and would like to use it there. I know I can buy City Navigator North America v7 for around $140 across there, and use this to load to a spare translash card, I will get 2 unlock codes to allow the software for use with 2 units. I could also try and buy one from Ebay before I go.

I have searched through this forum, and the web, and can find no US (Florida) POI's anywhere - are they available at all?

Finally, I saw while searching that some were saying they could navigate using the North America city select software, I thought you could only navigate with City Navigator?

I don't really want to use Metroguide v4.01 (cannot find it anyway) as the maps are probably not up to date?

Thanks for any help.

You can autoroute with all three[CitySelect-CityNavigator-Metroguide]

MetroGuide USA is avilable in UK on eBay

I thought you could only navigate/calculate route automatically with City Navigator or Metroguide v 4.01 - obviously I am wrong.

Or can you navigate but not get automatic route calculation?

Thnaks for the POI link

You can navigate the the latest copy of Metroguide but you will have to load it using a free utility called img2gps.

This will allow you to navigate but without the search facility but there are ways around that too!

see http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=40185

this talks about Europe but it can be applied to the USA

Please PM if you need a link to a guide
