+mx125 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hello. For those in Canada with the Colorado 300/400 (or those having panned into CDA), I had some questions . . . . First, I'm guessing that as only the Topo 2008 has shaded relief . . the Topo Canada maps look as they do on my prior units. Is this correct? Second, in regars to the basemap, I would like to understand if the 3-D shaded worldwide basemap actually provides relief shading in Canada . . and is it useful? Or is it only really applicable for very wide area view? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 There is no relief shading in Topo Canada. It is 5 years old. Maybe in a new version.... The basemap shaded relief seems to be pretty much useless from my brief look at one. Quote Link to comment

The basemap shaded relief seems to be pretty much useless from my brief look at one. The basemap is disappointing. But thanks for that feedback. I hope we do see a new Topo CDA . .although I'm assuming data suppliers to Garmin will be the barrier there. Quote Link to comment

The topo data was released free to the world last year, so it should be easier. Actually there are rumours from Garmin about a new release. Quote Link to comment
