 Could be more detailed June 24, 2008
These maps are almost essential if you have an etrek unit. The maps that come with the etrek are woefully deficient and you need to upgrade them. But even these maps could be more detailed especially for the hiker or geocacher. For topographical maps, these are not very detailed and if you want to route plan cross country you will need much more detailed maps. However depending on what maps you get, you can set waypoints on the more detailed maps and transfer them to the etrek and they will overlay the Mapsource maps.
 Wait! Don't buy yet! June 19, 2008

I purchased the Topo US 2008 to go with my new eTrex Summit HC. The Garmin topo maps in this product are 1:100,000 scale. I now realize that I need 1:24,000/25,000 scale which is the same as the USGS maps that I normally use. I would wait until they come out with the smaller scale. I am very disappointed. Once you have looked at an area in 1:24,000 scale, the 1:100,000 looks pretty useless.
Room for improvment June 19, 2008
I had this software navigate me through the United States from North Dakota all the way down to to Texas and South end of florida. It did quite well however I was at times awed by how well and accurate it was. Then other times I was awed at how inaccurate it was(usually only out on the open road that it would be out by so much). Bottom line I am glad I had it along.
 Better than nothing, but not by much. June 5, 2008

Highlight: The actual Mapsource program, for transferring maps to your handheld Garmin. Lowlight: The actual TOPO map included on the DVD. For my area, it has some kind of datum error, off by almost .1 mile. Contours seem OK, placement of POI not so much. Found a much better Colorado topo map on the Web.
Garmin software update May 30, 2008

Was disappointed in new Garmin update 2009. Had not updated since 2005 and had noticed quite a few new roads, shopping centers, etc. were not recognized by the old software. The new software still does not recognize these newer roads. Not sure when the actual updates were finalized, but some of roads are over 2 years old.
