Garmin Topo review

[tomcat76]

I was surprised not to find a review here on the topo mapping software by Garmin as I am about (hopefully) to receive a new Garmin 60csx very soon and would like to read up on this software with any screen shots etc..

Being new to this mapping software and the CSX60 just wondering how it all loads up etc I know it has a memory card etc but as with most products I don't suppose the supplied card will hold much.

Hi tomcat76,

IMHO, the problem is not (just) the size of the memory card, but the suitability of the mapping (if you want it for walking/cycling). Here is the review/discussion:

It's a long thread, but I suggest you read it all, or at least the last page or two. Also try out the Mapsource Topo viewer on the Garmin website, for an area you know. BTW, I believe the GB data is about 1.5GBytes.

Cheers, Alan.
