4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but not great., October 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin TOPO US 24K Northeast Map (DVD) (Electronics)
I've been using this 24K map to hike in Upstate NY. It does very well in indicating where the trail crosses roads, streams, etc. It's handy and useful. On the other hand, I am accustomed to hiking with those elegant maps produced by the Swiss and Austrians for the European Alps. The Garmin Topo map really doesn't compare to those in beauty and detail. On my alpine maps I can actually locate the big boulders and rock outcroppings that I like to sit on at lunch or when I take my break. I treasure my Ordnance Survey maps of Dartmoor that I use for letter-boxing. The Garmin simply doesn't give that kind of information. It seems sketch-like by comparison. Nevertheless, it is great to have a huge chunk of the northeast stored in my gps. It lives in the side pocket of my backpack, and it's ready to go whenever I have a few hours to spare. I did try using this map to find a geo-cache listed along one of the trails I use. It put me right on top of it. No complaints there... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Software does what it's supposed to., June 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin TOPO US 24K Northeast Map (DVD) (Electronics)
This software does what it's supposed to do, i.e., it works with the Garmin Handheld GPS I bought. The streets and landmarks are accurate, as far as I can tell. And that's what I expected, from what I read from others' reviews of Garmin GPS units and Garmin software. However, it still doesn't do what I really want it to do, which is to allow me to superimpose hiking trails from either a paper map or a .pdf or .jpg file into the software and then trace the trails into the .gpx file. So, in addition to the money I shelled out for the GPS unit and the topo software, I also had to buy a third-party software to allow me to do exactly what I wanted. You'd think that a GPS unit intended for hiking would allow its buyer to do this task, but it doesn't.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exceeds Expectations, October 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin TOPO US 24K Northeast Map (DVD) (Electronics)
I purchased the Garmin Topo 24K Northeast Map data for my Trex Vista HCx. It exceeded my expectations. The map data is detailed for NH, and covers northeast states. I was impressed that major White mountain trails are within the map data. Detailed small streams are in the maps. Woods roads are mostly in the maps. Local town trails are often not in the maps, but local town conserved lands are typically shaded in the maps. The road data is better than I expected, but, road navigation does not always work (not the purpose). Local attractions (banks, gas, food) are included which surprised me.
