75Appendix EMapSource InformationMapSource City Select CD-ROM OverviewCD-ROMs containing all U.S. and Canadian detailed coverage areas (DCAs) areincluded with your GPS V. The MapSource City Select CD is designed specifically forthe GPS V and contains detailed street maps for major cities. This mapping softwareallows for automatic routing and also contains turn restrictions and other routing infor-mation. By simply entering an address, intersection or pointing at the map, the GPSV will automatically plan a route and provide turn-by-turn directions to that location.You can also look up services or points of interest and view the address, phone numberand map location. Be aware that not all areas are covered in detail by the City SelectCD. But to get detailed, street-level routing for major cities, you need to downloadmaps from the City Select CD. Please refer to the MapSource manual for more informa-tion on downloading maps.The GPS V will also work with MapSource Roads & Recreation, City Navigator,WorldMap, Topo, U.S. Waterways & Lights, Points of Interest, Fishing Hot Spots(requires unlock) and MetroGuide CD, but these products (all but MetroGuide USA CDversion 4.01 or higher) will not provide detailed automatic routing. If you’re using GPSV without downloaded maps from the City Select CD, you’ll still have automatic rout-ing capabilities along major streets and highways contained in the built-in “basemap”.Unlock CodesThe data on the City Select CD is protected by unlock codes. Before you can down-load maps from a detailed coverage area, you’ll need to “unlock” that region. Additionalinstructions for completing these steps are printed on the MapSource Unlock Certificate(provided with the City Select CD). The Certificate directs you to the Garmin web site,where you’ll enter your personal information, the Unit ID number from your GPS V (referto page 56 and the Setup Guide), and the code contained on the certificate. From theweb site, you’ll also select a coverage area and see which cities are included. After you’vecompleted the information, the web site will provide your official 25 digit unlock code.NOTE: This information will apply toyou, only if your GPS V contains theseMapSource products. Not all GPS Vproduct configurations include MapSourceCD-ROMs. For information on GarminMapSource products designed for use in yourspecific location, consult the Garmin web site(www.garmin.com) or your Garmin Dealer.
