+Whittling Fisher Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I currently have the Garmin Mapsource Topo maps (not very detailed contours - almost 100 feet or more between the lines). They have been helpful while out hiking, but could be a lot better. I have noticed that some people are having luck with maps found on http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/state/ga/ In particular, I was looking at the 20 foot contour topo for the entire southeast of the United States (almost 800 MB). I was just curious if anyone has used these and how well they work. Are they broken up like the mapsource topo segments (where you can just load a few) and are they about the same size? Do they mess with using City Navigator? Has anyone had any trouble with them on a 60CSx? Just wanting to know some more about them before I go through the trouble of a large download. Thanks.

+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Looks pretty good. No trail data though. It installs to MapSource, so you can load individual tiles. You'll need to deselect CN under map setup on your 60CSx. Quote Link to comment
Grasscatcher Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) They work slick...(integrate smoothly). No interference with other map products. They work as just another "map layer" to "show" or "hide". Can select small or large areas to download to GPS. Really....no real drawbacks, great maps.
