Garmin MapSource U.S.A. Topographical Map CD-ROM (Windows) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this product for hikes and to guide me in navigating rivers. Only very major roads are named so I can't use this very easily to calculate my route there. Most roads are there but they just vanish at some points and reappear in others. Using a real topo map it is immediately obvious that these same roads do not dissapear and in fact continue on their course uninteruppted like a road should. The elevations and detail are very course. No trails are shown. I am not very happy I bought this product and am going to look into the roads and recreation to see if it does a better job. FYI I bought this to use with my Etrex Legend which I think is just great.

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.

Magellan MapSend Streets and Destinations Canada Street Map CD-ROM (Windows) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't waste your money on this product!
I was hoping this software would assist me in finding my way around the logging roads of Nova Scotia during my summer months there. MapSend has no detail of back roads and only useful if you travel main highways. One of the few lakes outlined in Nova Scotia is mis-named which caused me a little confusion until I realized the shortcomings of this product.

Garmin City Navigator Nordics for Detailed Maps of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden (microSD/SD Card) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Used these maps while driving through Norway in July, 2010. Generally very good directions but sometimes goofed when approaching or driving within a round about, a road feature popular in Scandnavia. My advice is to rely on road signs over the gps when it comes to round abouts, especially within congested areas. Getting the latest update is highly recommended due to continual road construction & improvement.
