topo for explorist 500

[+tallyho22]

Santa is coming and I was wondering what is the best software for my exporist 500 for topo maps. I have been trying to find out on the forum.

 

thanks for any info

Magellan's Mapsend Topo 3D is the only one compatible, as far as I know. Works pretty well.

I have it and recommend it. I has both the topo info and most of the road info.

 

There is an oddly misnamed bunch of rivers and streams in central Florida. As if they somehow shifted the names and the objects by a notch or two. As I'm familiar with the area, this hasn't been an issue.

1. You cannot route with topo maps (driving directions).

2. Don't buy it from the Magellan website, you can find cheaper deals elsewhere.

3. Perfect gift would be Direct Route and Topo. DR gets you close and parks you, topo takes you to the cache while avoiding that nasty cliff.

Tally,

I run the 500le with the map send program, it's a little short on the topo graduation, it only shows in 100 ft increaments, so if you are used to 15 minute quads, it takes a little getting used to. Other than that it has about every thing you need to cache with.

I have direct route 2.0 and it has pretty good detail on street names. I got mine from a friend who burnt me a copy. I think 3.0 is all you can get now. Its the DVD version.

ok, see, that's something you don't just blurt out to the world.
