Does the pre-loaded topo maps for the 550 cover Alaska?

I have the Garmin 450t. the 100k topo map does include Alaska. I also have the Montana 650t alot better gps for the buck.

No idea.... I don't have a 550! Sorry... I loaded topo maps from a free online website onto an SD card and put it in my 450.

I don't know if it does but I will tell you that I purchased this item and it was not loaded with any maps. So it was useless unless you wanted to spend another $60 to load the maps on. Be careful.

I emailed National Geographic and they indicated that their Topo Software in it's current version will work with this Garmin unit. I ordered it and am waiting for delivery. I doubt Garmin is embedding code to stop 3rd party software from working. They probably have a new format and older versions of Topo Software are not suitable.

you can down load maps from any where and can set it up for any where no sd card it's extra, the topo maps show the hills and valley in color and streams roads

I ordered the 600 and got a cd with the topo maps on it so I could use the cd with other devices. Can't answer re: the free ones.

Yes. There are TOPO maps wich are more for hiking and there are the road maps.

Yes,of course. It's pre-installed US Map well when it's sold on Amazon.com,thanks for your attention.

Simple answer: No. You'll need to buy separately detailed topo maps. I use the Southeast US one, for example.

Yep, it will work. I'm using topomaps, build from OpenStreetMap for my region (Russia, near border with Finland) for example. Works fine! Also, you could buy topo map for your region (or region of your interest) later.

No not as far as I know. Ours was loaded with a basic map of America and we had to purchase all the maps we wanted. Hope this helps.

The base model soes not. You can buy a model that has the 100k topo maps installed

No, it has US maps only. If you want Europe maps you will need to buy them separately.It looks like that in US this model is named "VIA 1400M" and Europe it has name "Start 20"

It is a Topo map - but there are some trails. My experiences with it in Tennessee, Colorado, and Montana is that some trails are there, others aren't. It is sometimes surprising what will be there and the things that are not. If you intend to hike a national park, for example, it might be worthwhile to purchase a map for that specific park. For example, you can purchase from the Trailhead series. There's one for the Pacific Crest Trail, if that helps. Regarding a trail overlay - If you intend to load the Topo onto your GPS you need to check to see if it can handle the additional info. I use the Basecamp software from Garmin (free download) and with it you can install overlay information. You can also overlay aerial photography.

For 2 years I have been using a 60CSx for geocaching using just the base maps that came with the unit. My biggest complaint is that there are too few details on the original base maps. Only major roads are shown and there is no indication of topography. Using the original base maps I usually must map out the way to a cache online before I head out. This has been working for me so far, but I have finally decided to upgrade to topo maps to make navigation to a cache easier as well as having road information when traveling. Overall, they're not necessary, but they sure are nice to have!

My device indicates maps for CN NOrth AMerica (Lower 49 States). When I try to find the state of Hawaii, it finds it but when I try to find Alaska it doesn't find it. My conclusion is the answer to your question is no.

There is another mapping company that will allow a Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx owner to download USGS Topo maps right into the handheld, then the GPS will display the map and Topo contour lines for 1:100,000 or 1:24,000 contours: Follow this link www.maptech.com and look at thier Terrain Navigator software product and maps.
