They're worth it if you're gonna use your gps for driving, but you don't need them if you know how to get to the wildlife refuge. Just download or plug in the coords, hit goto and start hunting!

+embra Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 The general rule of thumb is that the detail maps will cost you extra for most any GPS device. The good news is that you should be able to find the software for much less that $150 if you buy from someone other than Magellan. Search the internets. Quote Link to comment
Flyboy1304 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Is there anyway to get free maps like from another user? or what? Quote Link to comment
+biosearch Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Can't get free detailed maps from another person, unless they want to send you their copies. Lots of reasons why. You can find Mapsend topo maps, which is what you want for the 210, on eBay. There are a couple of copies on there right now for about 70.00, expensive, but far less expensive than the 150.00 you've found elsewhere. Even if you are using it primarly for work in the sciences (biology, nature history, floristics, etc.) it helps to have the maps, helps a lot. I use mine in my work, plant survey/collection work, and I would be lost without the topos. Well worth the money. Quote Link to comment
