TOPOGRAPHIC CANADA DVD WITH BASECAMP PRODUCT DETAILS	Back to Top

TOPO Canada is designed for interactive viewing of detailed topographic maps and land elevation contours throughout Canada. It provides built-in DEM (digital elevation model) data that supports 3-D terrain shading and route elevation profiles to help you estimate terrain difficulty. Plus, it contains descriptive details for features typically found on topographic maps, such as terrain contours, topo elevations, summits, parks, coastlines, rivers, lakes and geographical points. You will have coverage of major trails, urban and rural roads, and highways, as well as national, regional and local parks, forests and wilderness areas. With routable roads and trails, getting to your destination is made simple by creating point-to-point routes on your computer and on compatible units. In addition, you can search for points of interest by name or proximity to your location. Just download the DVD and use a microSD card to get all the area detail you need to find adventure in the great outdoors. BaseCamp, included only on the DVD, allows you to view and manage waypoints, routes and tracks on your computer and GPS. This new application includes 2-D and 3-D map views, rotated map orientation, elevation profiles and animated playback of routes and tracks. It allows you to organize trip data into folders and transfer trip data to and from compatible devices. The software also supports geotagging photos, enhanced printing, higher resolution images and more. TOPO Canada is not locked, so you'll receive full access to all coverage areas.

Canadian Rockies Guy Hinton, Alberta, Canada January 1, 2010	NEW VERSION OF TOPO CANADA - OK Pros: small off roads added Cons: no national park topo fixes I see quite a few fixes. But because I do a lot of outdoor hiking/climbing - and my job keeps me on the highways during most days - I see a few fixes missing. Even major highway changes are not in here. But many small off roads have been added. I cannot find any fixes in places like Jasper National Park. Same old. The new 3D look is nice, but have not tried it on my GPS yet. This is a bit expensive for what you get. 13 out of 23 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Canadian soldier CFB Shilo December 9, 2009	WORST UPDATE EVER FOR YOUR GPS Pros: none Cons: useless piece of cr*p, software not even up-2-date I've had a chance to use this "supposedly" newer software (yeah right). You'd be better off using a regular map and compass (a lot cheaper). At least, if you use a topographic map printed in 2001, well you know to expect anything to show on the map before the printed date. Now, with this software, highways, roads and streets that were built 4 years ago (yes, 4 years ago) are stil not showing on this joke.. huh.. I mean software! And thank God I used the software for free, otherwise I would have been pretty pissed of wasting over $100 for this. Not worth looking at it even, not until Garmin wakes up and delivers something reliable and accurate (for a change). And please, Garmin, have the courtesy to provide a user's manual with your next "farce" would ya? 31 out of 47 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Allan Perth, On November 11, 2009	MIXED REVIEW Pros: additional detail, spot heights,geocoding Cons: contour intervals, road names, 3d software I had a chance to use this new version of topo Canada in Northern Ontario while moose hunting and also for general use in Eastern Ontario. I am also use my gps76cs for Geographic Info Systems (GIS). I found that in the area of Northern Ontario and Eastern Ontario that the road names reflect the old township names and not the new township and county roads. This makes it confusing as you have to interpolate the names to what the actual signs say. I found that the road center line seems to be more accurate the majority of the time however strays when you are on a winding road. I like the new spot heights, and geocoding along roadways. There seems to be more detail of features in Eastern Ontario. Contours could have a smaller interval as in Eastern Ontario the altitude changes are relatively small. I had a problem showing the new mapping software on Mapsource. I downloaded the latest version from the site but it still didn't show. I contacted Garmin support and they provided a link to a newer version of mapsource which resolved the problem. I initially was able to use the 3d feature of basecamp from the CD on my computer but decided to download the software upgrade from Garmin. After installing the update, the 3d feature did not work as an error indicating my video card did not support the product. This was mentioned in previous reviews. I will not be buying a new computer/video card to resolve the problem as there is no driver update for my 4 year old card. I don't think the developers took the user community's hardware when delveloping the product. 33 out of 61 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

sean quebec November 10, 2009	BASECAMP IS JUNK Pros: updated roads. good on the gps Cons: hard program to use on the computer The maps are good but basecamp is junk. It is very hard to work with and always get errors. Mapsource is a better program but the v4 has more roads and trails. 31 out of 57 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Francis Montreal November 6, 2009	A GOOD TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING Suite à mon nouvel achat du GPSmap 60CSx, j'ai obtenu un special $$.$$ de cette carte Topographic Canada DVD 2009. Je dois dire qu'elle n'est pas complètement à jour. Depuis 2007 l'autoroute 85 dans le bas St-Laurent est prolongée. De la même année, un super marché près de chez moi n'existe plus. Il y a même des rues dans la région de Laval qui furent construite depuis plus de trois ans et n'appaissent pas! D'autre part, ayant eu un autre GPS qui a rendu l'âme lors d'un accident, j'avais dans la même compagnie Garmin, la carte CITY NAVIGATOR North America (États-Unis & Canada). Un peu plus cher mais tu paie pour une meilleure qualité de naviguation! Cette dernière me dirigeait parfaitement sur les voies à sens unique. Contrairement à ce dernier achat, elle me dirige dans des voies où elles me sont interdites. Elle n'a pas le sens de l'orientation en ce qui concerne le sens unique! Bref, une lacune regrettable. Surtout à Montréal! Certes, pour le prix investi. Je peux l'intrégrer dans un autre GPS. Contrairement au CITY NAVIGATOR North America qui est exclusif a un seul GPS. Pour ce prix offert à 50% moins cher que le North America, je vous le recommande! 29 out of 62 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Harry West coast Newfoundland November 4, 2009	TOPOGRAPHIC CANADA WITH BASEMAP Pros: shading, street numbers added, services added Cons: many errors, roads not updated, basecamp crude Compared to the earlier version, the new shading is a big improvement and now street numbers and more services have been added. In my area, Newfoundland, many of the highways have been updated and more streets and rural road including some trails are now shown. However, the large number of obvious errors eliminates any confidence in the information. Highways that have long existed and are shown on City Navigator for several releases are still not shown. Worse, there are a huge number of address errors, some very obvious, that should have been caught. In some cases the street numbers have been inverted so that the high numbers appear where the low ones should be. Consequently, much of the new services information in my area is incorrect because it is shown in the wrong place. Basecamp is crude and very poor in comparison with Mapsource. Mapsource should have been included in the release instead of Basecamp as Topographic Canada did not merge with my older version of Mapsource and I had to download a 56 MB upgrade. This product isn't up to Garmin's standards. It was created by a local Canadian company, DMTI, and in my experience, this latest release is less accurate than their earlier version. If you have the earlier version don't waste your money on this unless you just have to have the shading... which is visible only on my PC, not on either of my GPS units. 28 out of 56 viewers found this review helpful.

VE7VIE Vancouver November 2, 2009	DOESN'T WORK WITH 8MB LEGEND Pros: i guess it includes dems and will do 3-d Cons: file sizes too large,selections should be smaller I had to return this and get an earlier version as I couldn't download any maps to my original Legend - the files were all too big. I am lucky that the old version could be found - Garmin doesn't sell it (although retailers still sell the original Legend.) 33 out of 62 viewers found this review helpful.

Dougals of PG Prince George BC November 2, 2009	TOPO CANADA V. 4 Pros: quality of mapping is great! Cons: basecamp less useful than advertised I really appreciate the quality of the topo mapping, the detail and shading, and the fact that it seems to incorporate street addresses, Points of Interest (Burger Kings, Petrocans et al.), park boundaries, and other items I used to have to go to MetroGuide to find. I remain a bit mystified about Base Camp, though, haven't found that terribly useful, maybe I need to play further. I perhaps naively assumed it was like a different MapSource, capable of communicating interactively with the GPSr. However, I have imported some files from MapSource into Base Camp and viewed them there, and via Google Earth, all works well...glad to see the V. 4 maps showing up as another map base option in my MapSource. 34 out of 62 viewers found this review helpful.

Smee Okanagan Valley November 2, 2009	TOPO CANADA Pros: good as available Cons: should be in separate sections This item recplace my old ver 1 copy of Topo Canada which had some problems. It has the newer graphicly enhanced views however the areas I frequent had no new data to show any updating of the maps. The newer format of having the whole of Canada on one disc instead of four (4) different regions as before, I feel is a step backward. I cannot just have the section I want without loading the whole thing. I see why there are many sellers of separated versions on the internet. Too bad there is not a help section with table of contents, that lists the files needed by areas of the country,then you can open and copy only what you need and not clutter up the system with uneeded data. 34 out of 71 viewers found this review helpful.

Brian Canada October 30, 2009	GARMIN TOPOGRAPHIC CANADA DVD WITH BASECAMP Pros: very good topo map, shaded areas & more deail.

Dave N. Robinson, The High Country Hunter Grand Falls, New Brunswick, Canada October 29, 2009	TOPO CANADA Cons: no operating booklet very disappointed!!!! No booklet of instructions! as there was with my GPS or previous versions of Topo maps. Wasted three days trying to get to work properly, even using the help menu. I finally called garmin, spoke to Scott who was very helpful, but there are always too many questions to ask one individual. Still do not know answers to all my questions and am to embarrassed to call Garmin back. There should & needs to be a booklet explaining Topo 4 and basecamp maps that you always have questions on! 41 out of 71 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Laps Georgetown ON October 27, 2009	TRAILS ARE MISSING I live near the Bruce Trail in South Central Ontario and none of the trails in my area are on this CD.

Rick Halifax, NS October 27, 2009	GARMIN TOPOGRAPHIC CANADA Pros: quick delivery I thought more known trails would show in NS. They are on the local topographic maps but not here.

GPS FREAK Northern Ontario, Canada October 8, 2009	THIS IS JUNK TO SAY THE LEAST. Pros: none. Cons: too many to describe. If you live in Northern Ontario and need maps for your gps do not buy this unless you like trouble and inferior software. The basemap in the gps is better big time at that too! Do not waste your good money on this! If only I could return software, they would get this one back fast. 47 out of 90 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Emmbeedee North Gower, ON. October 4, 2009	TOPO AND OREGON - A PERFECT MATCH! Pros: 3d views, maps are very detailed, yet easy to use Cons: none I recently added Garmin Topo to my new Oregon. Yesterday I was riding along on my motorcycle when I went into some mountains and was really surprised and awed by the gps display - that Topo information adds so much more to the Oregon. I'm used to using a 60CSx and the combination of the Oregon and the new Topo maps has made a huge difference to my gps experience. The Oregon has a higher resolution display than the 60, so the Topo information is very easy to see and use. The 3D view is especially fascinating! Well worth buying both Topo and the Oregon! 41 out of 77 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Wixter, Jim Regina, SK, October 2, 2009	GOOD TOPO MAP Pros: water bodies well marked Cons: navigation questionable at times The basecamp software didn't work very well (slow and unresponsive at times) but transferring maps to mi handheld unit with mapsource was quite smooth. 42 out of 81 viewers found this review helpful.

Charlie Victoria BC September 26, 2009	GARMIN TOPO CANADA DVD. Pros: shading Cons: poor installation instructions. I found the installation very difficult and spent a huge amount of time on it. I still don't have 3D viewing as I can't find how to download Open GL 1.3. There were poor instructions and it was not clear to an only moderately computer literate person what was happening or what to do next. A written booklet would have been nice. I'm not sure the maps are much better than my previous version though some local errors have been corrected. I do like the shading, but need to work with it more. Also, I thought that having the maps on several CDs was better than stuffing the whole country into my computer, as most of us are only going to use two or three areas. 43 out of 79 viewers found this review helpful.

Rick Edmonton, AB August 4, 2009	SAME OF THE OLD STUFF Pros: built in metro guide Cons: maps not updated & 3d maps not working in gps Well I was disappointed with the V.4, although it is a Topo maps many roads built right after V.2 were not added, I would have preferred to see more of the newer roads then added shade of green. 3D feature on Oregon/Colorado/Dakota not that great The only feature interesting is it include Metro guide. As for the Base Camp program, it is only a revise version of Mapsource. I give it a 4 rating only because if someone never had maps and need a set it is good. 63 out of 125 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Mark Nakusp BC July 21, 2009	TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING Pros: good looking maps Cons: can't use it as a moving map on your laptop Love the shadding on the upgraded maps over the original Topo Canada. To bad they did not make it compatable with N- route or any other moving map display for your laptop. 72 out of 138 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Steve P Maple Ridge, BC July 8, 2009	NEW VERSION TOPO CANADA I replaced the older version of Topo Canada with this one. I do not see any difference in the quality of maps or map details on my 378c vs v2. (There must be more detail because I could not download as many maps as the older version.) Also the software to download to the gps has changed and does not have any instructions, so you are on your own to figure it out - which wasn't difficult - but if this was your first experience with a gps, memory card and DVD software, you might find it frustrating. 59 out of 126 viewers found this review helpful.

Dave Thunder Bay, ON June 25, 2009	TOPO CANADA DVD This software is a HUGE improvement over the Topo Canada CD (v.2). Many of the outdated maps have been updated to include such things as new roads, infrastructure, etc. Also, the DVD includes POI, which are new the Topo software. I previously had to swap the Topo software with the City Navigator if I wanted more detailed information and POI. Completely worth the extra expense. 72 out of 142 viewers found this review helpful.

Brent Victoria, BC June 24, 2009	GOOD TOPOS FOR GARMIN UNITS Pros: dem and 3d shading is nice I bought this product because of the DEM and shading avalable on my Oregon. I find it to be very good in my area (victoria). As was mentioned in earlier reviews it seems to have MG V5 as the base, with the DEM added. I find the maps to be very close to the Canadian Gov't paper maps in topographic detail. 62 out of 120 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Tony Victoria BC June 23, 2009	CANADA TOPO - GOOD BUT COULD BE IMPROVED. Pros: is an essential addition to the base map. Cons: not detailed enough re trails and roads. This is my first experience of using such a map. My main criticism would be that I did not know how big a memory card I would need to store the whole map. I bought a 2GByte card which will take about half of the map and is therefore O.K. - I can put the other half on another card. Some guidance would be useful. I also found that some roads around Jasper / Maligne Lake AB were not shown on this map. So there is a lack of detail. On the description on the web-site it was not clear how much city detail there would be versus real topographical (back country stuff / contour lines)info. 75 out of 141 viewers found this review helpful.

Danny Toronto June 3, 2009	RIDICULOUS MAP DIVISIONS. Canada is divided into grids, regardless of density of information: makes the southern ontario map large, doesn't fit on some internal hard drive GPS units.

Léopold Martine Mont-Laurier May 27, 2009	SUPERBES DéTAILS Pros: une multitudes de détails et une image superbe. Cons: la précision des certains sentiers. Je me sers beaucoup de MapSource pour mes différents GPS (Bois et route) et l'ajout de ces nouvelles cartes est réellement un plus. Elles sont rtemplies de détails (restaurants, commerces, motels, etc.) et ce, même dans les plus petits villages et les coins les plus reculés. Je me sers souvent de ces cartes Topo pour trouver des adresses que je n'ai pas dans mon Nuvi 855 ni dans mes cartes City Navigator North America 2010. De plus les cartes sont beaucoup plus belles que les anciennes cartes de Topo Canada. J'ai téléchargé ces nouvelles cartes dans mon GPS Map 60CSX et tout a très bien fonctionné. Sur le DVD on obtient en plus le logiciel Base Map, mais je crois que ce dernier peut être téléchargé gratuitement sur le site de Garmin. J'ai eu de la difficulté à intégrer ces nouvelles cartes (en 3D, un plus) dans MapSource, avec toutes mes autres cartes. Le tout s'est fait automatiquement lorsque j'ai télécharger City Navigator 2010 pour mon Nuvi 855. Je n'avais pas trouvé le moyen de le faire et le soutien technique de Garmin au Québec m'avait dit qu'il croyait que ça ne se faisait pas. Ça se fait, mais comment? En conclusion, je suis très satisfait de mon achat, les cartes sont superbes et les détails surprenants par leur abondance. Tous vos Waypoints et tous vos tracés antérieurs se récupèrent en un seul clique et les symboles des Waypoints s'ajustent automatiquement. Ils ont pensé à tout. Je vous recommande cet achat, surtout si vous possédez un Oregon ou un Colorado qui prend en charge le 3D. Si vous êtes à la recherche de cartes avec une multitude d'informations et une très belle présentation avec en prime le 3D, allez-y, c'est un must. 67 out of 152 viewers found this review helpful.

northernpenguin Georgetown, ON May 27, 2009	EXCELLENT ADD-ON FOR COLORADO/OREGON Pros: 3d shading, routable Cons: cannot load entire country into gps While not as high resolution as the GPS Quebec maps of Ontario, this product does a very good job at identifying terrain changes and waterways. Map is routable and better than City Navigator in a few places. 3D shading works well on my Colorado. Size of the map product means you cannot load the entire country at once, as it exceeds 4GB. 65 out of 131 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
