Overview Garmin has begun a map project of the United States creating 24K high resolution maps. The project is moving from the west coast of the U.S. toward the east coast and so far involves two states at a time being released. The maps are only available on SD and microSD cards and cannot be viewed on a computer. Overall these maps bring a major improvement to what TOPO maps have been available for Garmin GPS receivers and add autorouting features and improved terrain shading, as well as better accuracy.

They are selling for $99 per card (only two states included. True Dbgrid Pro 8.0. ) Check discount prices The first map card was released in July 2008, for Washington/Oregon, followed by California/Nevada and Utah/Colorado. More cards featuring a two state combination are expected to be released about every two months until there is full coverage of the USA.

What Garmin is not advertising, is that these cards are a hybrid of detailed TOPO maps, but also have Navteq City Navigator data with autorouting capabilities. What it means is that this TOPO card will work the same as City Navigator maps for autorouting. The cards are copyright protected with an unlock code, but can be transferred between any compatible Garmin unit, without having to register the card to a specific unit. The biggest disadvantage to this, is that you cannot view these maps on a computer, only on a compatible Garmin GPS.

While the map cards will work in any Garmin unit capable of using a microSD or SD card, the terrain shading feature makes these maps most effective, when used on the Garmin or series. The memory card is a San Disk brand and is a 2GB microSD. It comes with an SD adapter and a brief instruction. There is no manual or anything else included. My version is the Mountain Central card and its map file is 1.4 GB, leaving about 600 MB for storing digital photos or.gpx tracklogs on the 60CSx or eTrex HCx series. (The map file is in a folder called GARMIN and there is a small unlock file and the gmapsupp.img file) You cannot put another mapset on the card, in fact, if you try to send additional maps to the card, it will erase your 24K mapset for good. We strongly suggest you send no maps to your GPS unit's internal memory, without first removing the memory card as a precaution.
