Here's some recent Garmin Topographic Canada DVD with Basecamp reviews:
Don March 18, 2010	I have used the version 2 topo maps and Mapsource for a long time,(great product) Thought I could update the maps to version 4. Bought the version 4 which does not work with Mapsource, The included "basecamp" software is not as nice to use. The maps are as good as before with some updated areas however lots on new roads and trails are not on them. House numbers are added which can be nice at times. Just installed it last month and now upon opening basecamp I get a message saying maps are out of date.??? called garmin , they said it is happening to some people, the version 4 is the latest version and it must be a glitch, They are working of a fix. Overall, still a good product. Basecamp needs some work. but once you get used to it you can move around in it ok. Maps are a little out of date but still the best produce out there.
Dr Fish March 9, 2010	Obviously you can't put all of Canada on a single DVD at a scale useful for walking or canoeing. Especially in areas remote from highways = most of Canada. If the mapping is comparable to 1:50,000 mapping the comparison shows the weakness of Garmin's offering. But there is nothing better available. I hope Garmin will continue it's move to simplifying use of custom maps to the point that scanned topo maps can be installed.
Gilles Lemieux (Le Galopin) March 9, 2010	I recommend this item to any outdoor activist who like to go backcountry skiing or hiking or even kayaking with TOPO Canada V.4 enjoying the review of his traces and routes on his computer afterward. BaseCamp which comes with TOPO Canada V.4 is a real modern tool to make cartography in 2D or 3D as TOPO Canada V.4 contains a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) for the whole Canada territory permitting wonderful 3D representation of the terrain. Enjoy flying around before going on expedition.
Canuckcanoeist March 8, 2010	Haven't had the chance yet to try our new Garmin 60CSX with the Topo Canada much except on a couple of local hikes but will give it a true workout this spring in the wilds of central BC. Am very pleased with the detail so far. Certainly far and away better than our old Bushnell GPS and it's meagre mapping - it was a joke....actually the joke is now on whoever stole the Bushnell from our truck! Also GPScity.ca had the best price for Topo Canada DVD than anywhere else I looked either in store or on-line.
Diane G. March 6, 2010	Carte apportant des informations qui me sont très utiles pour les randonnées pédestres et le Geocaching. Et Basecamp est vraiment un outil facile d'utilisation qui permet d'exploiter la carte pour toute sorte d'activité. Ma déception: je souhaitais avoir les principaux sentiers dans les parcs nationaux ou autres mais ce n'est pas le cas.
