OK, but not really good for hiking... November 5, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The map is ok for an overview, but not for hiking itself. I purchased it for hiking in the CA bay area, and lots of hiking trails, especially mid size and smaller ones are not included. Also there is no auto routing possible, so ou have to use additional maps to get to e.g. the trail head by car. It is ok if you use it for bigger and well known parks, but not really useful for real hiking.
Maps not up to date November 5, 2006

Loaded good, however maps are not up to date. Maps were not as detailed, such as forrest roads and topo features, as other GPS software other people in our hunting party had. Overall I was happy with the software because I was able to find my way back to my vehicle at the end of the day. Always a good plus.

It is easy to load but the data is old and does not show accurate local information. It was too broad for my use.
 Great trail detail, 75% accurate... October 31, 2006

I bought this software to help navigate the logging roads and mountain biking trails in North Kitsap county (Washington State). What trails are shown are largely accurate, but not perfect. Some logging roads show a dead-end where it actually continues. Still, though, it's WAY better than nothing and impressive topo data.
Great software addition for eTrex Vista owners October 1, 2006

Pros: 1. Memory requirements are no problem. The 64mb card can easily swallow several states worth of maps.
2. If you don't mind not having street names depicted, this software can easily allow you to course navigate with the plethora of street detail included.
3. Contour and waterway detail is spot-on.
4. Overall, I was impressed with the logging roads and trails depicted for the state of Maine. They matched my Delorme paper maps contour-for-contour.
Cons: 1. You can't input two waypoints and get turn-by-turn navigation guidance for highway travel (a la mapquest). Rather, you have to manually enter waypoints for every "bend" in your journey...and this goes for PC set-up.
2. If you want your track to remain "right on the depicted road" while traveling on highways, you must stay in a higher scale 'cuz when you zoom in, you almost inevitably end up a millimeter or two "off course" on your screen.
3. Price...
