Editorial Review:
We?ve mapped every hill and valley. Download data from the MapSource TOPO U.S. 2008 DVD directly to your compatible Garmin GPS. Now you can enjoy topographic mapping detail no matter where your adventures take you.
TOPO U.S. 2008 features digital topographic maps for the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. It is available in two different formats making it easy and convenient to load data to your compatible Garmin device: MapSource DVD and preprogrammed micro SD data cards.
Garmin's United States TOPO MapSource CD-ROM is similar to U.S. Geological Survey 1:100,000-scale topographic paper maps. It includes trip and waypoint management functions that allow you to transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your PC and nearly all Garmin GPS units (excluding the GPS 100 family and panel-mount aviation units). With MapSource, you can view highways, roads, hiking trails, snowmobile trails, backwoods trails, elevation contours, point and summit elevations, some bathymetric contours, geographic names, churches, and schools. Shoreline detail is included for lakes, reservoirs, small bodies of water, waterways, rivers, and streams. Icons represent boat ramps, dams, marinas, campgrounds, public facilities, mile markers, first aid stations, picnic sites, swimming areas, ski areas, wrecks, fuel locations, and dangerous and restricted areas.
In addition, nautical navigational aids for the 50 states are provided, including radio beacons, RACONs, and fog signals; river, harbor, and other lights; and day beacons and lighted and unlighted buoys. Shipwrecks, submerged rocks, obstructions, and other hazards to nautical navigation are also displayed.
Note on compatibility: The trip and waypoint management functions of this product work with nearly all Garmin GPS units, excluding the GPS 100 family and panel-mount aviation units. Specifically, the map-download features of this product work with the eTrex Legend, eTrex Vista, eMap, GPS V, StreetPilot, StreetPilot ColorMap, StreetPilot III, and GPSMAP 76, 162, 168, 176, and 295. Some units may require a Garmin data card to upload map data.

Is good only for use in trekking but very good
Rating:  - Poor quality - avoid
I bought the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx and about $400.00 worth of software. I was under the impression that the TOPO US 2008 product was the digital equivalent of the USGS 24K - but due to space concerns I assumed it would be perhaps half the resolution (otherwise my GPS would be the size and weight of a car battery). I was greatly mistaken at how inaccurate it was. After reading many other reviews, I said heck with it and ignored the nay sayers in favor of purchasing it. In my opinion, this item is ... Read More
Rating:  - Mapsource Learning Curve
I found Mapsource to be a top rated program with a short learning curve. I Like It!
Rating: - This is a complete Rob
I paid a lot of money for this CD upgrade for my Garmin, and I still haven't downloaded it after a year. I took it to two expert computer shops, and they can't do it. I went to website, downloaded countless updates and drivers, and it still won't work. I will never buy a Garmin product again.
Rating:  - pretty good, but some weaknesses
It's taking me a while to get a hang of this product, but I'm able to download and upload tracks for my eTrex Legend, and that was my main goal. Trip planning also looks useful.

One gripe I have, but may be me learning, is that you don't seem to be able to open ... Read More
