 Totally useless map. Do not buy.Dec 28, 2008
By D. Massey
This map is totally useless for finding your location in China, which is probably why you are buying it. Can be as much as a quarter to a full mile off. I have had a long email exchange with Garmin upon return from China on the subject. Apparently, the Chinese government requires a "shift" to be put into the map program that accounts for this dislocation. Garmin's response on how to fix this was convoluted and abstruse, requiring elaborate programming (creating new waypoints, pulling the card out, reassigning them, etc) none of which could be done except while IN China. Oh yes, and you have to have your Garmin op sys completely up to date (something I am sure we all do each weekend). None of this elaborate fix is documented on Garmin's website.
More frustrating than this is that I asked Garmin if my unit (Nuvi 370) was compatible before I bought the map, and they said it was indeed compatible. Garmin customer service now says it is not compatible. Perhaps so, as I would be surprised if the map works with any Garmin unit at all.
Just another example of how GPS mapping is still an emerging technology hampered by global politics and inept marketing. Perhaps someday a company will emerge that realizes that people just want to USE the GPS unit, not program it, fight with technical support, and pay $100 for useless maps.

Useless ProductOct 12, 2008
By Kenneth Lim
"Kenopy"
This product is absolutely useless in China. Does not provide accurate positioning and the information is so off the map that it renders the product unusable.

Never worked, Garmin never respondedOct 05, 2008
By F. Lemaitre
This map never worked in China, total fiasco. Asked Garmin for help, never answered. Still fighting for a reinbursment.

China shiftFeb 20, 2009
By 99silver
This product is indeed useless if you want to navigate in China. I talked to Garmin after getting back from China and finding the maps have a"shift" in them that puts you off by several thousand feet. This shift is also not consist about the country. Garmin claimed to be unaware of the problem and I directed them to several websites documenting the problem. They said they would get back to me but nothing (it has been several months)

Absolutely Worthless As-Is -- DO NOT BUYApr 17, 2009
By R. Neron
Despite the other reviews on this site, I purchased this software with the understanding that Garmin had corrected the previously described map offset. Guess what? They did not.
On my GPS, my actual vs. indicated position on the map is off by at least 500 yards, making the maps completely useless for point-to-point navigation (which is the point of having a GPS and associated maps to begin with). Garmin had indicated prior to purchase that the maps would work fine with my 60CSx, even though it is not listed as being compatible with such on their site.
Technical support has not even recognized that there is an issue, let alone offer resolution.
A completely worthless product for Navigation in China (currently living in Kunming).
