Digital camera reviews of Garmin MapSource 2008 Topographical U.S. Map DVD-Rom
Digital camera Review: Garmin Mapsource TOPO
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent product at an excellent price. If you're into off road GPS use, this is the best product for your Garmin hand-held unit.Digital camera Review: Garmin Mapsource TOPO
Summary: 4 Stars
Seems good but not intuitively obvious how to use and setup database of maps. Will need to read some but it looks fine for what we need.Digital camera Review: Garmin Mapsource TOPO U.S. 2008
Summary: 3 Stars
I knew when I ordered this product that the resolution was not as good as I would have liked but the mapping options for Garmin are rather limited.
I would prefer to have had 1:24,000 scale USGS maps but could only find that resolution with the national parks product from Mapsource.
The TOPO U.S. is 1:100,000 scale USGS maps...
I also found the instructions for downloading the maps to the micro SD card in my Garmin a little lacking in clarity. After several attempts a finally accomplished the transfer.
The balance of the product I found to be satisfactory.

This product seems to have everything that I need to keep my gps adventures
on track. Going with the cd version for the computer and downloading maps as I need them works well. This also lets me upload tracks and waypoints
onto my computer to store and plan routes, and connect waypoints with pictures or web links. I haven't had any problems with this software so far. There also is a link to view your map and waypoints on google earth.
(this requires a download from google) but is a very cool feature.
This software has many features which I haven't yet explored them all but most of the usual items are self explanatory.

Summary: 4 Stars
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.
