| I enjoy using the Garmin Quest for its flexibility, both in
car, and for hiking, biking. The mapset that comes with
the unit is fairly dated (Citymaps, ver 6.?), The Topo
series serves as a great update, and provides excellent
detailed maps as well. It works with the Garmin for in car
navigation, and gives great trip information for biking and
hiking as well. One problem I have seen,is that it does
not really track designated bike trails in our are,
Seattle, It appears to have National Forest/ National Park
trails designated, but the lack of bike trails in urban
areas does not fit my wish list for this map set.
The maps are expensive but GPS City seems to have the best
price. This product is invaluable in keeping the Quest
useful. |      |

| These maps have great detail, but it would have been nice if
they had a more thorough coverage of foot/bike/atv trails.
Its noteworthy to mention that unless you have a GPS unit with
a larger screen (eg. Montana), the level of detail may be too
difficult to read on the smaller screen GPS units (e.g. 60csx) |      |

| Wish the topo elevation lines could either lighten more
than they do or possibly filter out some of the lines in
higher elevation on the GPS 62s. The screen gets way too
busy to see much of anything else. I use it for off road
motorcycling and it is difficult to see trails/dirt roads
thru all the elevation contours.Once on base camp the
elevation contours can be filtered and is easy to follow.
24K is not so user friendly either on base camp. |      |

| This software sucks big time! Since there is no manual you
have to go by trial-and-error and this could consume many
hours. It is not intuitive and I consider myself computer
literate. On the computer I see great value in the data,
however, the help in the toolbar is useless except to
indicate where to find an item in the drop-down menus. It
gives no instruction. Download by selection tool to GPS has
been futile. I want to be outside, not at my computer all
day. | |
