What Customers Say About Garmin MapSource US TOPO CD-ROM for Garmin GPS Units (010-10215-12):

I would wait a few more years before upgrade. Details are more than sufficient. Newer version not necessary if you are truly interested in working Topo maps.
So why isn't the street even on this program that I bought less than a year ago. She bought her lot five years ago. The street was paved and named at that time. I encouraged my husband to get a Garmin and use these maps because he goes hunting and fishing with friends and family in rural parts of Colorado and Missouri. I guess things just take forever to get updated, but that was frustrating to me.In my opinion there is just no substitute for good old paper maps. So I'm still worried about him off in the boonies.Also, I tried to find a friend's new home in a subdivision that has been layed out, paved, with street names and signs for nearly ten years. Some of the country roads and trails are on this, but some still are not, even though they have been there forever. Not only was her house not on it, her street is not.
I also use it for laying out and checking trails for the Bureau of Forestry in my state. I have found this to be a great product. I won't be without it in any of my Garmin GPS'S I for one am glad I purchased this product. I have used it extensively for Geocaching with great results. It has saved me a lot of time and driving while searching for Geocaches.
i have been very very disappointed. the title says it all- you have to use this for Garmin (if I am wrong please tell me so I can buy something else) but, it is only marginal. Not very up to date or detailed.
For the areas it covers, it does a good job. This means that if you go on a hike with multiple friends with compatible GPS units such as a Rino, you should be able to load the appropriate map onto each of their units from the same disks.The biggest problem we haven't been able to figure out a work around is it only gives data for around recreational areas.
In other words, we haven't been able to figure out how you can use the Rino to guide you to your hiking destination, then change the mapping function to the Topo features to help you with your hike without loading up new maps from a laptop at your destination. If you wish to load up a street map beyond the base map, you can't use it at the same time for the same section.
I gave this as a gift to my brother who uses in on his Rino 530. I think this is because you can't download all the maps onto your computer (it downloads a basemap for you to zoom in on and at a certain point it asks you to insert the appropriate disk: Alaska/Hawaii, Western United States, or Eastern United States).
Even with its downfalls (known and yet to be discovered), I plan on getting one for myself when I get around to getting my own GPS unit. He has only been able to use these maps a little bit.
And it gives you maps across the entire United States.Unlike the street maps that require an unlock code, these maps did not ask for one.
