+lacazg Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hello, I am going on several backpacking and canoeing trips in the coming months and I think it might be a worthwhile investment to buy maps for my Garmin GPSmap 60csx. My question is should I buy the 24k or 100k maps? I am leaning towards the 100k for two reasons. One, they cost $80 compared to $100 for the 24k. Also, I read that the 24k maps are hard to read because of inadequate back lighting (Is this true?). Any help is greatly appreciated. lacaZg Quote Link to comment
+storm180 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well the 24K maps on SD card only have 4 states so far, since you are using a 60CSx you should not have the backlighting issues that the colorado and oregon users have with these maps. The Topo 2008 is probably your best buy for only $80.00 and you get all of the US. Trails are very limited though on those maps. What states will you be in? Quote Link to comment
