GOOD FOR THE CHOSEN LAKES
Pros: great detail on chosen lakes
Cons: topo canada has better detail less the fishing map
I used to have a Garmin GPSMAP 160 loaded with Canada Topo (Excellent Detail) slower black and white unit.
So I upgraded (supposedly) to the Garmin 420s. So let me say that the basemap will not let you zoom in to any detail of the world basemap. What Garmin has done is forced you to buy the Bluechart G2. So you have some clarity when you zoom in.
The G2 is amazing for the chosen lakes within the region. If you fish the non chosen lakes within the region, you get a sketch of a lake similiar to a 5 years old childs coloring project. All I can say is shame on Corporate Americas Greed on this half A****d money grabbing software. Also I shoud mention that all of your other software (Mapsource,Topo Canada,etc...) will not work with the 420 unit. Garmin is forcing you to buy their overpriced mapping software.
