 If you need to update... SORRY! May 7, 2010

As a professional captain I own many Garmin GPS units (5 currently). This is the first time I purchased a software product. I have a new netbook w/GPS receiver installed. I got the software to work but a new College Town has been built 10 miles away from us in the last 3 years and I need an update to include the town of Ave Maria... 'Sorry, you should have bought the copy that will be out soon instead of what you got, no updates of this software available, EVER!' of course, I paraphrase, it wasn't just that but what I read was pretty close! I'm MAD and looking into non-Garmin products for my boats and vehicles when I re-tool. That is not only Not standing behind your product, that is saying "You messed up! You trusted us!"

Garmin Mobile PC (software only version) works with any GPS receiver; BT, USB, Garmin or not. It works also with integrated laptop receivers. It is locked to the computer not the receiver as usual. It can be installed on one computer only. If you change your mind after installation, you are out of luck. It may be possible to reset the lock by contacting Garmin support, but don't count on that.
The maps included cannot be updated. Your only option is to buy another copy when the newer map version is available.
Apart from that, it is like a Nuvi with a bigger screen, specially on touch screen tablets, with the added value of Garmin Online information; flight status and hotels.
 Much better than Microsoft S&T 2009.... March 23, 2009

Bought this software after wasting $80 on Streets and Trips 2009. It's safe to say that Garmin is well ahead of Microsoft on the user-friendly part.
The positives are many: Quick, easy info on the screen. Pleasant, but not overly loud coloring of the land/roads/etc on the map. Better voice for turns compared to Microsoft's robotic voice. The road is laid out going up on your screen, unlike Microsoft and it's "car driving angled on a crooked road" problem. Automatic day-to-night map switch. Actual "Time at arrival" readout...another feature Microsoft seems to not incorporate into their program.
Only a few negatives: No big button to stop/start routes. Garmin online should have more info on the weather in your area (like severe alerts). The tabs aren't customizeable at the bottom of the screen.
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PRODUCT DOESN'T COME WITH A GPS RECEIVER, EVEN THOUGH THE PICTURE DISPLAYS ONE. IT IS ONLY...ONLY THE SOFTWARE.
I bought Garmin many years ago. I thought I could find a cheaper substitue from another company that would have the same great features...and wound up buying two that disappointed me. Stick with Garmin. They know what you want in a GPS/GPS software package.

I have a Fujitsu tablet PC and, with Mobile PC running, it performs similarly to my wife's and daughter's Nuvis, with one exception. When entering a street address, the Garmin keyboard does pop up. Instead, I have to use the Fujitsu keyboard application which has small letter icons and I need to use a stylus instead of my finger to enter letters and numbers. I Called Garmin about this and they said the keyboard option has been disabled on Mobile PC. Because of this I've downgrading my 'satisfaction' rating from excellent to good.
 Great Interface, bad performance September 23, 2008

I had high hopes after reading several professional and end user reviews. I loved the interface and the large icons. However, I could never get it to work on my newer laptop. I spent many phone calls with tech support trying to get it to work, but it always kept freezing up. I had to return it.
