I'm thinking that will depend on what GPSr he has. Isn't GPSFileDepot only for Garmin units?

I think so. Large assumption on my part there

I use the site for my maps on my Garmin units. Everything on the site points to Garmin only. Of all the tutorials they all talk about Garmin units and using Mapsource or Base Camp to install the maps.

I use mapsource all the time love it. Im talking more paper maps like for hiking and finding cliffs or water falls and using topo maps to place caches also am intrested in learning more about being able to learn more about using map and gps together

 

Thanks for all the replies every one, Ive heard about National Geographic Maps supposed to be good, and therer are several downloadable I think maps products on line for about 25 dollars or more a year, anyone have any thoughts on those types also??

 

I use a Garmin ETrex Legend

 

Thank you and have a great day
