Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin MapSource 2008 Topographical U.S. Map DVD-Rom
Customer Review: A great upgrade
Summary: 5 Stars
Topo U.S. 2008 is a worthy upgrade, well worth the money here, especially with the Garmin rebate! In all honesty, even at Garmin's retail price, it would be worth the upgrade, for my use. The maps are much improved;e.g., a man-made lake that I have often fished isn't even featured on the old Topo USA, but 2008 has it. It has greater contour features and all in all seems to be produced from more recent USGS survey data.
It is not perfect; thus far, I've only found one problem with it, not so much of a problem; a state conservation area (shaded in green) only covers a very small area within the boundaries. Not a problem on the ground, as the boundaries are clearly posted; but it annoying when one is plotting navigation on the computer for download to the unit. For this kind of money, little non-critical errors like that, I can live with. I'm not using this software to land a jet or call in for fire support. Compared to other digital mapping products I have used, notably the older version of Topo and DeLorne's products, this is one of the most accurate I have seen yet, outside of an actual USGS topo map (and mistakes are found on those as well).
Another nice change is having the entire set of maps on one DVD instead of the old multi-CD regional set. Thanks Garmin!
After using this for a few months, I am pleased with it. Another great product from Garmin.
