Totally useless map. Do not buy. December 28, 2008
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.

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 responded October 5, 2008

This map never worked in China, total fiasco. Asked Garmin for help, never answered. Still fighting for a reinbursment.
