 You have to have a specific need for this January 12, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Only get this mapset if you have a specific need for terrain information. I was a little disappointed about how painfully out of date the trail information is and this only leads me to believe that some of the terrain information is probably outdated too. Certainly, mountains don't change often, but some trail land does. I got it for terrain information of Hawaii and it was adequate. In this instance, there wasn't the option of using the National Park mapset. I can't say personally, but I would hope the National Park mapset is more up to date.
What I expected. January 11, 2007

This product is what I expected. Nothing more nothing less. It is a 1:1,000,000 scale map and I can certainly understand why some are disappointed in it. It does not replace paper maps at the present time. I would like to see someone in the industry produce quality 1:24,000 or 1:50,000 scale maps for areas not in the national parks. Actually, the ultimate replacement will probably be along the lines of Google Earth, which is very disappointing in that the bad frames are not being updated very rapidly. If the bad frames in Goggle Earth were replaced and all frames updated on a more frequent basis that would likely be all that one needs for mapping.

I got this software a couple of months ago and I still haven't been able to figure out how to use it. The instructions that come along with the package assume you are a computer geek. Pass on this unless you have a lot of time to try and figure out how to make good use of it.
 Men don't stop and ask for directions January 6, 2007

This software used in combination with my g.p.s. is fantastic! I am more confident in the woods, even in the dark. The best part is, while on the road I'll never have to stop and ask for directions again! You'll never have to admit to your wife your lost again.........

Many people have complained about the inaccuracies and lack of detail that Garmin's Topo software provides, However, I am completely satisfied with this product.
It has more than adequate detail for my hiking and mountain biking needs, and provides a ton of additional roadways over the basemap. Those of you who just intend on getting by with your basemap don't know what you're missing!
If you intend on doing a lot of out of state travel you would be wise to also invest in Garmin's City Navigator software which places more emphasis on maps of major metro areas.
The software is a joy to use, requiring little effort to copy maps onto a compatible GPS. Also, Mapsource Topo does not require an unlock like other Garmin products, just install and go!
