Amazon.com 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.

In addition, nautical navigational aids for the 50 states are provided, including radio beacons, RACONs, and fog signals; river, harbor, and other lights; and day beacons and lighted and unlighted buoys. Shipwrecks, submerged rocks, obstructions, and other hazards to nautical navigation are also displayed.

Note on compatibility: The trip and waypoint management functions of this product work with nearly all Garmin GPS units, excluding the GPS 100 family and panel-mount aviation units. Specifically, the map-download features of this product work with the eTrex Legend, eTrex Vista, eMap, GPS V, StreetPilot, StreetPilot ColorMap, StreetPilot III, and GPSMAP 76, 162, 168, 176, and 295. Some units may require a Garmin data card to upload map data.

1 out of 5 stars Poor quality - avoid   January 13, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx and about $400.00 worth of software. I was under the impression that the TOPO US 2008 product was the digital equivalent of the USGS 24K - but due to space concerns I assumed it would be perhaps half the resolution (otherwise my GPS would be the size and weight of a car battery). I was greatly mistaken at how inaccurate it was. After reading many other reviews, I said heck with it and ignored the nay sayers in favor of purchasing it. In my opinion, this item is worthless. I recommend that others avoid it. Garmin's units are great, but their maps and licensing (especially the unlock wizards) are a joke. I recommend buying another product altogether - the nay sayers are correct.


5 out of 5 stars Mapsource Learning Curve   January 12, 2008

I found Mapsource to be a top rated program with a short learning curve. I Like It!


1 out of 5 stars This is a complete Rob   November 8, 2007

I paid a lot of money for this CD upgrade for my Garmin, and I still haven't downloaded it after a year. I took it to two expert computer shops, and they can't do it. I went to website, downloaded countless updates and drivers, and it still won't work. I will never buy a Garmin product again.


4 out of 5 stars pretty good, but some weaknesses   August 21, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It's taking me a while to get a hang of this product, but I'm able to download and upload tracks for my eTrex Legend, and that was my main goal. Trip planning also looks useful. It doesn't have many National Forest trails in it and the trails it does have are generally poorly labled. It's still a good way to make my GPS more useful and, possibly, avoid picking up too many free trail maps to clutter my gear closet. One gripe I have, but may be me learning, is that you don't seem to be able to open a saved map file and then add a new track to it. That makes it hard to create a long-term record of one's hikes.
