+Dos Amigas Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Another newbie here. Not a techie, so this is a bit of a challenge. (I can do this!) The base maps on the Legend leave something to be desired. When I scan the Garmin site for compatible maps, the 2 that seem to "fit" my needs are Metroguide NA and Topo US 2008. When I use the sites little "trial" piece, these maps are also lacking. BIG TIME. Is it just the trial on the site? Are they really much more detailed ? Are they worth it/are there better? Any help is appreciated. Dos Amigas Quote Link to comment

Any help is appreciated. Dos Amigas Lacking in what way? MetroGuide has pretty much every road in America. Dunno what's missing, unless it's recently-built stuff. Some people find maps worth it; some don't. Currently I run MGNAv8 and am very happy with it. Worked fine in my Legend, too. Quote Link to comment

Any help is appreciated. Dos Amigas I bought Metroguide and the topos when I bought my Legend. I don't like the Garmin topos but the Metroguide maps were useful. The Legend won't autoroute but you can setup routes on your PC and upload them to the Legend. Quote Link to comment

I couldn't get it to show any local city streets, just the highways. Thanks for the info-that's what I needed to know-that there IS more to it. Quote Link to comment
