Buyer's feedback: - * Topo 2008 a Nice Upgrade ...
I have found this new version of the Garmin Topo maps to be an improvement over the older version....more detail, especially. Price was right too at .

Buyer's feedback: - Oudated info, over-priced
I've caught several major highways that were moved 4 years ago, and they are outdated on the topos. They don't include State Wildlike Management areas, and the detail is pretty lacking. Not worth the money.

Buyer's feedback: - * Upgrade Now ...
This is what the topo software should have been to start. Garmin has updated the topo to properly match the USGS maps. When you are hiking or similar the topography properly represents the actual terrain. A major difference is areas that have significant elevation gain were always improperly represented in the old product. The 2008 version is correct now and you can see ridge lines and valleys as they should be. This was well worth the $ spent and I highly advise that you upgrade today!

Buyer's feedback: - Average mapping software
I'd say the Topo is average. I've used others - DeLorme, etc... This is about the same. One issue I had was it's accuracy. While using it, I found that all the roads are shifted slightly to the North or South on the map compared to where they actually are. Not a giant problem - as it is only max 100 yards. But if you are in deep timber - it could mislead you some. Not sure what's the problem - but on my GPS MAP 60 csx - it is consistently this way. The detail is just average. There are better maps out there - but none that are compatible with the GPSMAP60. Also, they need more areas in their Parks version so we can get better detail of bigger areas. Additionally, you cannot use TOPO while using City Navigator in the same area. You have to manually switch back and forth depending on if you want to navigate via the roads on City Navigator - or if you are off the beaten path and need Topo information. That's a pain. Overall, your choices are limited and for the greatest US coverage, this is your choice for TOPO with the Garmin units. It did suprisingly have some old skid trails already in it - which was a suprise! I liked that.
