"Not an application, it's an update only"
Version: Garmin MapSource 6.16.3
Pros
There are no pros to this application
Cons
This is only an update if you already have MapSource installed. It will not work unless you already have it.

"A Waste Of Time"
Version: Garmin MapSource 6.16.3
Pros
I find it very hard to find a "Pro" for what is only a file update of the original Mapsource. It seems to me that Garmin goes to some extra effort to make using their Apps difficult to sort out and use.
Cons
If you don't already have Mapsource installed it it just a useless waste of time. It is an update to the original version. I was looking for an App to be installed on my new computer and continue what I started in my old XP. The original version was very hard to use and not user friendly at all. It is a shame because the car version of Garmin Nuvi is a pleasure to use in my car and motor home.
Summary
Look elsewhere. There must be another source of free and easy to use map editing software.

"Deceptive Advertising"
Version: Garmin MapSource 6.16.3
Pros
None. Downloaded file is not what was advertised.
Cons
This is NOT the Mapsource program. It is an UPDATE ONLY. It is totally useless and a waste of time unless you already have a previous version of the Mapsource program.
Summary
Totally useless waste of time unless you already have a previous version of the Mapsource program (but then, why would you need this? In that case just go directly to the garmin website and download an update).

"It's a waste of time to download."
Version: Garmin MapSource 6.16.3
Pros
If I could run the program, I might have some.

This is an update for owners of previous versions of mapsource.
Summary
Unless you already own a version of mapsource, downloading this file is useless.

"Great map program for Garmin GPS"
Version: Garmin MapSource 6.16.3
Pros
Easy to use to set waypoints and download them to the Garmin GPS
Cons
Searching from street names could be improved. You need to search for the exact name. Most people are used to google search which allows approximate search strings.
Summary
Very good program for Garmin GPS receivers
