+Amanda_86 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Im just looking for some ideas on what maps I should purchase for my Garmin Dakota 20. I read a lot of reviews but i still cant make up my mind! What are your favorites? Edited July 20, 2011 by Amanda_86 Quote Link to comment
+michaelnel Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Don't buy any until you try the free ones at these sites: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/ They are very high quality and frequently more up to date than the expensive Garmin maps. You might find those are all you need. You can always buy the Garmin ones later if the free ones don't please you. I am using them on my Dakota 20 and am very pleased with them.

+CacheFreakTim Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 +1 on the free maps. I have found (in my area) that the free topo maps from gpsfiledepot have more information than the 100k topo maps from Garmin. Quote Link to comment
+michaelnel Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I have found the same, except for the DEM data that Topo 2008 has that the free maps don't. Not sure I care, though. I have had my Topo 2008 DVD for several years, and since it is not tied to any particular GPSR, I install it as a matter of course. I have never been impressed with it, though. Quote Link to comment
