- Download detailed topographic maps from your PC to your compatible Garmin GPS
- See terrain contour, elevation information, shoreline detail, bathymetric contours, hiking and snowmobile trails and more
- Create routes and waypoints on your PC and transfer them to your GPS
With Garmin's U.S. Topo DVD and your PC, you can download detailed topographic maps to your compatible Garmin GPS. These maps are comparable to the U.S. Geographical Survey's 1:100,000-scale paper maps. You'll see terrain contour, elevation information, shoreline detail, bathymetric contours, hiking and snowmobile trails and more. You can also use MapSource to create routes and waypoints on your PC and transfer them to your GPS.
The 2008 update includes coverage for Puerto Rico, increased POI data base, DEMs(Data Elevation Models) allow for terrain shading on the PC, DEMs(Data Elevation Models) allow for the elevation profile of a route on select GPS units (60CSX for example) and on the PC, and is now DVD based vs CD-Rom.
| The map download feature of the U.S. Topo CD is recommended for use with the following units (Some units may require a Garmin data card to upload map data): |

Maps are detailed and seem to be accurate. I haven't had any problems with this program in Windows XP pro. I don't know about later versions.

My only negative on this product was the lack of directions on the box or on-line. Was able to muddle through it but others may have more difficulty.

I have a eTrek that I take everywhere from the Rockies to east coast. These Topo maps are always accurate and very helpful in finding landmarks.
If you are going to own a Garmin you need these Topo maps!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by HunterBen Great Product!!
I recently purchased a Garmin iQueM5. It came with the City Navigator v.7, as well as the v.8 upgrade, but i wanted more. The US Topo software is great!! It's giving me everything I wanted and more. I highly recommend this software for anyone with a Garmin. The ONLY thing that I do not like is that with my iQueM5, I can not "route" the topo maps. That might just be due to the GPS I have though??

Hello, In October my pops and I are going hunting in Oregon (Applegate) to be exact. However we are going blind folded we've never been,we don't know of any spots,I heard there is a fair amount of public land for hunting. However my question is would this product (Garmin® MapSource™ Topo US 2008 DVD-ROM for GPS and PC) be useful for me? As far as locating hunting grounds out of state. If not maybe you can guide me in the right direction.Thank You

The program does identify public land, but, you will have to find out what is open for hunting or other public use. The state fish and game , wildlife management or whatever will have that info on a web site in most cases.

The Garmin MapSource is useful if you have a Garmin GPS. It will allow you to download the topo maps to the GPS for whatever area you are in up to the available memory on the GPS.If you want to scout land without actually seeing the land I would suggest the following.
1 - Check the internet for maps of public land supplied by the state.
2 - Check out online topo sites like mytopo.com and if you want to order topo maps of the area you are going to hunt.
3 - Call up the state's DNR and ask them questions about hunting and public land access. They manage the area and can give you a leg up in contacting helpful land owners or specific areas to hunt.
4 - If the public land is managed by the US forest service or BLM given them a call and see what they can tell you.
Whenever I've called the government about help in pre-scouting land before I arrive they have always been very helpful in giving me contacts and pieces of information to make my time more useful.
Just remember nothing replaces on the ground scouting but preparation neve hurts.
