I bike on roads and designated bike trails. Do the maps include bike trails, and if so, what kind of trails--state trails, or county and city, too?

So far, in my experience, it covers all trails. In the settings, make sure to uncheck "avoid narrow trails".

I think the garmin topo maps are just OK. Not enough detail for me. They show BLM land, but not enough trails for me. I ride dual sport off road. I purchased the DeLorme Topo v.10. Much better. Every trail, every view, great routing resources. Don Taylor, Chandler, AZ

As far as I can tell, the maps are current. You get regular updates after you register your GPS (just log in with it connected to your computer).

This one is great for major interstate and state routes. For example, you can clearly see that you take Interstate 40 from Memphis to Nashville to Knoxville, TN or State Route 27 from Dayton, TN to Chattanooga, TN. However you don't see any roads going to a place like Carthage, TN. I don't know anything about Carthage, but I don't think it's a very big place. So...I suppose the level of detail you want would dictate whether or not you wanted this map.

If your referring to the navigation function it works on both presuming you have downloaded the waypoints. I use on both my mountain and road bike and mountain bike and it works great.

Not quite clear on what you mean. Essentially the update is supposed to give you new info that wasn't included in the previous data, like new streets or some that were previously excluded. One problem I have found is, that when trying to update maps, the system does not allow it, and Garmin will NOT answer when queried about it. VERY disappointing and to my thinking fraudulent (as it prevents me from getting my money's worth.)

My experience is that the maps are very accurate in rural areas. Right down to the dirt roads. There are some problems you should be aware of though. Many times the road names are not the ones used locally. The road sign may say Snake Creek Rd while the GPS says County Road 317. That can make things a llittle confusing.Find make not work well for rural addresses (largely due to the problem above, but there seems to be a little more to it than that.)

Yes they can only be ridden on roads or bike paths, not sidewalks.The bike is nice, but beware that Customer Service sucks.

You can download GPX files of routes for hiking and biking. Also some maps that you can purchase have these routes printed on them. Yes the GPS does show your elevation very accurately. I have compared it to the elevation markers at the top of hikes and it is within a few feet.

No. It is not a GPS device. Nor does it "reflect" map application information (but that would be nice) . It only "reflects " performance oriented data from a compatible App like: wahoo or strava; time, speed, cadence, pace, rpm, heart rate, etc.

I believe mine came with simple North America Road maps, no trails. Also you can buy them online or find some over the internet. There is a site that will prepare specific maps based on your needs and are free.

I typed in 10 Main St. Anchorage, Alaska and it gave a message that "the route is too long. Navigation instructions are a added as you approach the destination." I would guess the maps would be there. It is a great GPS.

Hi the weather in CA. Is much better than Boston. What the heck are you doing in Boston? About the bike I really have no idea. I have not been through a winter with it. I plan to go to AZ and CA for this winter so it may never see snow. I really like the smooth ride I get but cannot help you in your situation. Good luck.

They have a list on their website of the lakes that are included but unless it says it's in hd don't bother. I purchased it because they listed my lake and the maps were worse than the built in map. I sent it back.

I've biked past many cops here in S.Ca and it's cute I get a thumbs up. Just be careful, I sometimes bike on the sidewalk and have to push crossing pedestrian crosswalk buttons. It takes some getting used to commuting, sometimes I get in traffic to make a left turn at a light. It's a great bike.

Steve check out the trails on the maps provided at the sledgps website, with an actual trail map from your state's snowmobile association. THey are not even close. I wouldnt waste your money at SledGPS.
