CenTexDodger Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I bought my copy of Topo off ebay for something like $40. It is not locked software, so it does not matter that it is used. In the areas where I have used it, the topo software gives good trail coverage. Your mileage may vary. I have read on here that in some areas trail coverage is poor. Quote Link to comment

+CiscoHiker Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I bought the topo CD for my Vista C. My only complaint about the topo CD is that the map data is old. I'm in San Jose California and it shows US 101 on its old route which was changed more than 15 years ago. When I asked garmin about it they said the topo map is to provide topo details and if I wanted accurate street details I should by the city nav or metro. I think the topo CDs should at least keep the major interstates and US highways up to date. But maybe thats just me. Quote Link to comment
