+Geo Boltz Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 I have searched the site but don't seem to find the specific answer I am looking for. I seem to be seeing that the Mapsend TOPO also has street level information. Is it as specific as the Mapsend Streets version. I have a 4X4 and would like the TOPO information, but mostly would use it for GEOCACHING on surface streets. Which version would you purchase given this info? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
+phantom4099 Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Get TOPO, it has all the streets as mapsend Streets. TOPO also has some more trails and other roads that streets does not. Mapsend Steets was given away with the 330 so it is more basic. Mapsend Streets and Destination has the same roads as TOPO but it has diffrent POI's. Wyatt W.

+Geo Boltz Posted June 22, 2002 Author Share Posted June 22, 2002 Thanks Phantom...that's what I was thinking from the information I had found here. I can't wait to get out and find my first cache. I am hooked and haven't even started yet. Quote Link to comment

vagabond Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 If your in the San Diego area maybe we could meet somewhere and I can show you what the topo looks like All who look are not lost Quote Link to comment
+Geo Boltz Posted June 22, 2002 Author Share Posted June 22, 2002 Unfortunately I only make it down to the San Diego area once or twice during football season. I live in Orange County but I appreciate the offer. I went ahead and ordered the Topo version since I found out there is a $50.00 rebate good until July 7th I figured that 20.00 for it wouldn't be bad if I don't like it. Do you use Topo alot, or is it more of a pain than it's worth. I am having a hard time deciding if I want to hook the laptop up to the truck or just do it at home and pluck in a few maps and go. I can't wait to get my first cache. I am going hunting tomorrow for it. Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment

+Geo Boltz Posted June 24, 2002 Author Share Posted June 24, 2002 It was a link on Amazon.com. If you bought a GPSr and Mapsend software together there was a 50.00 rebate link. Go here to print it. http://www.magellangps.com/assets/promotions/50rebatecoupon.pdf Quote Link to comment

+Geo Boltz Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 I hope it helps you. After all I have been reading around the web, I am glad that Topo will only end up costing me 20.oo (I don't mind paying full price for the SportTrak Map - it's been dead on the money). Good hunting.

vagabond Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I think I would have gotten the Meridan, just for the extra memory, I love my Gold. If you do exchange for A Meridian,I would get as large as a chip as I could afford 128 meg.? Plus a card reader they can be found for around $80.00 together. A 16 meg chip will give you the Mexican border to just a little past LA from the coast to just a little past the Colorado river and then zoom down to 100 feet. Thats what I have on my 16meg chip.
