Not much better than Basemap
This adds very little detail over the Trip and Waypoint manager basemap. Added are some city names, topo lines, railroad tracks, small waterways, and obscure airports. I have not seen additional roadways and would not have purchased if I knew there would be no more road detail. Often in Latin America, the roads are incorrectly placed, making marked road tracking difficult. Standard Garmin Quality, which I have come to appreciate.
Garmin WorldMap CD-Rom
I travel internationally and was looking for something that would give me an idea what cities I was over from the air, when riding on commercial transportation. This product does that well from the air, but as I read on several other reviews, on the ground, it can be another story. It can put you on the wrong side of a river or when riding on a train, the depicted track can be 3/4 mile away or more. I have the US Street map and that works fine and is very accurate, but the World database still needs some tweaking. I use it with the Etrex Vista.
Disappointed . .
With high hopes I bought this, and the world package, only to find it complex and incomplete. I will stick, now, with Google Maps.
World Map review
I used the Garmin Mapsource Worldmap in Cameroon, Africa. It was a blessing to have and compare with printed maps available. We always knew where we were, which made us feel good. The maps are off a little bit from where the GPS thought we were (less than 1/2 a mile at most) and some roads were different, but given the conditions in Cameroon everyone on the trip was extremely happy we had the Garmin 60Csx and the worldmap loaded and operating at all times.

The maps provived provide excellent detail, having checked it out with my trip taken in 2000 and 2004.
Furthermore, the proof of the pudding comes this sept when i go to China.
