 MISLEADING FEATURES September 5, 2010
Mike Greeby
THIS PRODUCT, LIKE SO MANY OTHER GARMIN PRODUCTS, MISREPRESENTS THE FACTS. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS TO TO BE EQUIVALENT TO
USGS 24 K MAPS. IT HAS ONLT ABOUT 45% OF THOSE FEATURES.
POOR MAP COMPARED TO WHAT IS ADVERTISED
Garmin vs DeLorme September 2, 2010

I bought Garmin Topo Southwest. Easy to install, other than that the product is way over priced for what you get. I've been using the old Delorme Topo 3.0. Garmin just doesn't compare. I hunt in southwest Colorado, roads are miss labeled or just are just not shown. Continental Divide not shown. Major trails ie. Continental Divide Trail, Rainbow trail, Colorado trail not shown. A lot of garbage that an outdoorsman doesn't need. Who needs to know where shopping centers or an ATM are when hunting or as Garmin puts it, ON THE TRAIL? The reason for the purchase was to put a copy on my etrex Legend HCX and I wanted to print maps from my PC. Well I tried printing a map to an HP laserjet printer and it printed the Navteq logo over the map. I tried to a second printer, an HP inkjet, same thing. After an hour on hold with technical support, the technician told me Garmin is aware of the problem and I should do a print screen. Well the same thing printed. I logged into my Amazon account and sent it back.
 Good, but could be better July 28, 2010

It's safe to say that most GPS units are not made to be as user friendly as possible, and this software is no different. However, it isn't that difficult to use, and will help you get a lot more out of your GPS.
Having said that, it is -ridiculous- that you have to pay so much to get these maps. I got the Southwest maps because that's where I live and do most of my hiking. But I'm taking a trip to backpack in Montana soon, and it just isn't worth it to buy the separate map DVD for that trip. If these things were cheaper, I would've.
Amazon's price is much better than most others, but still very high compared to maps for GPS units from other manufacturers. I guess it's cheaper than buying lots of paper maps, but you have to do that anyway because you're crazy if you rely only on your GPS when you're in a place where navigation is a serious concern.
Gamin 4 corners map! July 20, 2010
Brent Ewasiuk
A detailed map of 4 southwest states, but not the same as USGS issued maps. Some points of interest are not on there, but this is the only one that Garmin takes.
 Good for what GPS Software is for July 9, 2010

Software is adequate! It does take awhile to load, but the maps work for what they are meant. I use it for hunting and fishing, it works great! If you are relying on software to tell you where to go in the wilderness...you probably should stay in the city! A GPS and its software are helpful and useful for marking waypoints (campsite, parking spot, good fishing holes, where you have been). This software is designed for ASSISTING in getting you out of potential bad situations and marking spots you have been. The software is not, as much as everyone wants to believe and as is advertised, for helping you find a trail. You, the outdoorsmen, should find your own friggin trail, and not rely a satellite dependent object! Buy the software for what it is meant for, accompany it with tried and true maps, a good old fashioned compass, and your senses- you will be just fine! Like I said, the software works fine, importing and exporting data are easy, install of the product takes awhile (does that really matter), and reading the maps on the unit are easy enough. If you are going to nit-pick every detail of the program you probably should never shop for anything again, because like everything else in life, the product is not perfect, but adequate.
