Customer Reviews

US Topo 24k
The maps are high resolution and very usable, but only cover the National Parks and no topo information for areas outside of the parks.

Beware! Amazon is selling an unidentified back level version.
Six weeks after purchasing US Topo National Parks, I called Garmin technical support with a problem. I was informed the version 2 sold to me by Amazon had been upgraded to version 3 in April 2006. Garmin also said they would not upgrade my software to version 3 because I had not paid the MSRP. Since it was over 30 days, Amazon does not provide an return option or upgrade to make this right.

With other Garmin products on Amazon's web pages, it is stated that there is a more recent version of the product. This is not the case with Amazon's webpage for the US Topo National Parks. The web page does not identify the version of the mapping software.

Buyer Beware !! Amazon is selling a back level version of this mapping software.

Love this as much as Yosemite!
First of all this product is just unbelievable!
Let me address the other reviews quickly:
- Go to the Garmin website and look at exactly what you are buying
it details what parks, etc are included
- I bought V2 from Amazon. V3 came out maybe a couple months later.
I contacted Garmin and they actually sent me a COPY of V3 before
it was even available to the public. Garmin customer service is
just amazing!
- This is going to be outdated? Um, huh? What are you talking about?
Look at a USGS 7.5 map. THAT is what you are getting! The trails
have not moved in literally centuries. Some trails are re-routed
for various reasons but the topo ain't gonna change in your
lifetime. I have hike nearly all the trails in Yosemite (no kidding)
and the trails on the maps will get you there my friend.
OK...
So, IF YOU HIKE IN: Lassen, Glacier, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, or
a few other in the West (actually quite a few others). Then you
want this!
With an eTrex Venture Cx or equivalent you can:
- Load these maps
- AUTO-ROUTE the TRAILS on the maps
- see the profile of a trail that you auto-routed on the GPS
- Have the entire park maps (7.5 degree) (20 ft. elevetion between
topo lines) IN YOUR HAND
I hike extensively in Yosemite and this product is one of those
gadgets that I would buy over and over again.
My wife and I also spent a week in Glacier NP and it was the bomb
there too!
Now if only Garmin would release a TOPO with this detail for the
entire state..
Hope this was helpful to you.
