| 203 of 208 people found the following review helpful:  Alternative to buying MapSource Topo 2008, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Garmin MapSource 2008 Topographical U.S. Map DVD-Rom (Electronics) First, I'm not knocking the TOPO US too much. It is expensive and does not have high resolution but it fills a niche. If you need a TOPO map in a hurry, I suppose it is the best alternative. I've had my Garmin Legend HCx for several months now. During this time, I've hunted for a reliable alternative to TOPO US, rendering 24K resolution and not limited to a few National Parks. Looking really paid off. The best solution that I've found is the following: * Free Maps from USGS Seamless Server (24K TOPOs as GeoTiff files) $0 * Any graphics editor program that can handle .tif format $0 * Mapwell (Basic) Google to find (includes raster/vector conversion) $45 * TrackMaker (free version) Google to find $0 Total:...

Read some of the reviews on Garmin's "City Navigator North America" product - there are some real horror stories about the problems people have had with Garmin's unlock code system. NOTE: In specific discussion of how TOPO 2008 interfaces with a GPS, the unit used in this review is a Garmin 60CX. What you get with TOPO USA 2008 that's good: 1. It adds a lot of city streets and county roads that are not included in the base map. However, the positional accuracy of these roads is often pretty bad. But at least having them would probably help you find an address if you got lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood or rural area. Unfortunately though, the road network in TOPO 2008 IS NOT AUTO-ROUTEABLE. In other words, if you try to generate a point-to-point trip route in either MapSource or in the GPS itself, the route will not...

I have also been using eTrex for GPS navigation for almost the same amount of time (I am now using Vista Cx). Recently, I purchased Garmin Topo U.S. 2008, hoping to save time to find/create trails and waypoints. But, I was wrong. Although the resolution and price of Garmin and DeLome products are about the same, Garmin Topo U.S. 2008 is a big disappointment. I spend more time with Garmin Topo U.S. 2008 to find trails and create waypoints. Below are my observations. - It's impossible to find trails till you zoom in into about 1 mile resolution. Then, you loose a big picture of an entire trail. Also, it's very difficult to distinguish trails from roads and elevation contours - a display contrast is quite bad. - Since it does not have a capability of selecting trail segments, it requires to manually creates a number of waypoints...
