Do the topo maps show BLM or public land, and trail names
1013566
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

Yes, more or less. You go into "Base Camp" on your PC and you can mark waypoints and create routes. If you don't have the TOPO maps, you won't have any elevation lines or any trails. Not all trails are included on the TOPO maps, but even if they aren't, sometimes there are points of intrests that you can mark etc. For example, a lot of the trails in the Adirondacks are on there, but a lot of the trails in the Catskills are not, but some points of interest are and the peaks are. Of course, you can also mark waypoints as you hike and record your track as you hike as well. I find it to work out very well. Yes, more or less.

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

All the trails and roads are routable. including any in the national parks. All the trails in the national parks should be there. it's very nice and handy. Once you put In a destination you have to select rout down road. Then you will be able to view your elevation plot and millage. You won't be disappointed. 24k maps are much better than the 100k.

I don't use the topo maps because in Alabama it's pretty much flat. I've read other reviews where users report that the preloaded topo maps are junk.

Yes, arrow will show you the way. It wont show you a map, but I always carry a topo map as a back up to see the terrain features. . You wont go wrong with this little gps. If you have the money to buy a very expensive one with map features, like the one I have, go ahead and get it. But I got this for my f a ther in law who is a simpleton. He loves it

My subscription ran out this spring so if the areas I saved were updated I didn't notice an improvement. I can still view maps I had saved during my subscription. The quality isn't as good as googlemaps.com but considering the price I paid I felt they were worth it. It does make things better than looking at a plan topo map.

No. Neither the maps or the trails on them are 100% accurate. And private lands are not usually marked.

Sort of. It works for tracking and elevation. However it doesn't come with any topographic or trail maps. You will need to load maps if you intend to use them, which you probably do. There are free maps available to download online. I think the best site is GPS File Depot.

Chrisitine, This item does not come with any maps as far as we know. At least the ones we ordered needed the map card to be iserted to show it. Hope this help...

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.

No it does not come with the US topo map. You need to download it off of garmin

The 62st has pre-loaded topographic maps + 3.5 vice 1.7 GB memory. I highly recommend the topo maps if you're going on the trail.

First, my disclaimer: I have somewhat poor vision. However, the states are outlined & labeled on the world map. It is sometimes quite difficult to see the lines & labels, given the 3-D nature of the map, where mountains & valleys occur.

I believe topographical maps are available in a desperate package from Magellan for a fee. Check with them online for details and pricing.

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

Flags and Country Names...yes. It will be hard to see on the actual map when you purchase it...you may need a magnifier glass!
