| Product Description Garmin's United States TOPO MapSource CD-ROM is similar to U.S. Geological Survey 1:100,000-scale topographic paper maps. It includes trip and waypoint management functions that allow you to transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your PC and nearly all Garmin GPS units (excluding the GPS 100 family and panel-mount aviation units). With MapSource, you can view highways, roads, hiking trails, snowmobile trails, backwoods trails, elevation contours, point and summit elevations, some bathymetric contours, geographic names, churches, and schools. Shoreline detail is included for lakes, reservoirs, small bodies of water, waterways, rivers, and streams. Icons represent boat ramps, dams, marinas, campgrounds, public facilities, mile markers, first aid stations, picnic sites, swimming areas, ski areas, wrecks, fuel locations, and dangerous and restricted areas. |

MapSource - Better than Expected I purchased the US Topo 24K National Parks Series last year because I needed topos of Death Valley. This year, I needed topos of Nevada, so I bought USA Topo. I was expecting the detail to be less than adequate, but was pleasantly surprised. Every trail and Jeep road we traveled was shown, as well as all the abandoned mines and quarries we visited. If you don't need the terrain detail of the 24K series, give USA Topo a try first.
The one thing I am disappointed with is the program's insistence of having the CD in the drive to work. This is quite annoying. MapSource City Select and USA Topo 24K both allow you to install all the map files to your heard drive. USA Topo should too.
Lots of interesting data - perhaps not detailed enough sometimes Lots of interesting data such as peaks and other landmarks. The data is not very detailed sometimes, however. I'm guessing that the data came from the 15' topo maps. On a trip I made to Yosemite, the data had the same error contained on the 15' topo maps and the Yosemite park maps itself (apparently, the 7.5' map has the right data). (The data had to do with the layout of some drainages.)
excellent topographic map add-on The Mapsource topo map cd is a great addon for the Garmin GPS units. The original maps that were preloaded on the GPS handheld unit were very minimal and now I have all the detail I need with the handheld unit. I am a paper map kind of a person so I am very happy with the level of detail that comes with this program. Now my GPS has enough detailed information to tell me exactly where I am so I can find myself on a paper map. Excellent simple program. |
