Re: differences between Garmin City Select, City Navigator, and MetroGuide?

Yes the VistaC has all of that, but the base maps didn't have most of the
small roads used on my recent trip, so it wanted to "autoroute" me on the
only roads it knew, which often meant it wanted me to make a U-turn and go
back to an interstate and drive 100 miles to get to a town that was 10 miles
away on a two lane road in the same direction I was driving.
