But yea - that's why.. I'd also suggest the "free" topo's as they seem to be pretty good from what i've seen. I've got them on my Oregon300. Quote

+user13371 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 AND... the more expensive 24K Southeast contains a routable road layer. Is like getting 24K topo AND City Navigator for that area on one DVD. Note the Navtek badge at the bottom of Garmin's listing for it: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=35408&pvID=36719 Quote
