 Garmin Mapsource Topo 2008 August 25, 2008
So far so good with Topo 2008. It is a nice addition to my relatively low-level Etrex unit. Garmin's instructions and documentation always leave something to be desired, but I am able to use it and manipulate the map segments I need on and off the unit. Sometimes I wish there were more details to the topo features, but the roads and streets are a nice upgrade from the base map that came with the GPS unit.

Garmin topo program would not down load to Microsoft XP. I tried to work through Garmin customer service and was on hold for 1.5 hours. Then I reached the level 1 tech who then referred me to the level 2 tech whom I never could speak to. So, I returned the product to Amaxon.

Good, but wish it included street addresses even though it's a topo. Very easy product to use!
 Not hardly worth it for the Idaho Panhandle July 29, 2008
1.) The fire road data is woefully incomplete, and some of the roads it knows about don't actually exist, which shouldn't happen as road beds just don't just disappear overnight.
2.) The colors are such that it's tough to distinguish a fire-road from a primary elevation line.
3.) It can't navigate to trailheads on fire-roads.
4.) Even if you buy a big memory chip, the software will only let you move a fraction of the US to your GPS. And if you want to change maps, you get to start over, which could be an hour-long download to your GPS.
All in all, I wish I'd investigated some of the free topo tools and data rather than buying this.
Astoundingly Inaccurate in places July 29, 2008
I wanted something other than the base map that is built into my GPSMap 76CSx. I admit that I have not spent much time with this so far, but my initial impression is pretty bad. Until I ordered this product, I had been driving around San Diego, recording my tracks. When I loaded this product, I was startled to see how far off my tracks are in some places from the roads indicated on the map. For example, the east end of Sorrento Valley Blvd is pretty good. The west end of this road appears in this map a full 1000 feet (Yes. One thousand!) to the south of the actual road! It's not like there is an overall shift of coordinates or anything like that. The roads are right in some places, and then just wander off.
