I'm new to geocaching and I recently bought a Garmin Oregon 450. I just loaded some geocaches that are all within 2 miles of my house, but my Garmin didn't come with any real maps. I can see a very large overview of where each cache is located, but if I try to zoom in, I can't get anything. I had read that there were plenty of free maps available but I don't know where to go to get the best ones. Should I use the free maps? Which ones are the best?
