Good question, Garmin doesn't really make it clear what the differences are.

Checking the forums and reviews on these, it looks like City Navigator (the more expensive one) has some additional routing features over City Select/Metroguide. I'm not sure there is much of a practical difference and would look seriously at the cheaper alternative.

There's some discussion of this on the Brighthand forum:
