Make sure you want the 100k detail, not 24k (more detailed).
By E. Wiest
I ordered this map, assuming it was based on 24k USGS maps. When it arrived, I noticed that in the lower corner of the package it said 100k. This means than one inch of the map is equal to 100,000 inches (1.57 miles). This compares to one inch of the 24k map being 0.37 miles. When you consider that the map is in 2 dimensions, this means that the 100k map has about 1/16th as much detail as the 24k map. When you are using a map for hiking, small scale is very important.
The 24k map is available on Amazon.com at the time of this review (12/2009) and is only about $10 more.

MicroSD Topo card in Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx
By J. Dodd
I used the Garmin MicroSD Data Card in my Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx on a two week hunting trip in Montana in November,2008. Performance was excellent after I called Garmin tech support to find out how to view the topo data (that would be drill down in scale until the GPS will display topo data).

The chips are pricey. I would have used a data CD but Garmin is not Macintosh friendly, so I needed to buy the chips for my hunt.

The chips are not marked as to data content, so I used a small ziploc bag to hold the data chip and a note on the contents. Otherwise your option is to install the chip in the GPS and then view the title.

Easy (idiot proof) good information for Hiking/Camping/Geocache
By Shannon Hill
I purchased this to up-grade the base maps on my Garmin. Easy, easy upgrade, just insert the card wait 30 seconds during initial installation and have all of the Northeast in the GPS. Having detailed topo, road, RR, powerlines and even hydrologic details is worth it when out hiking in the boondocks. I esp. like the information on springs and streams, it has precise locations of 4 springs within 1 mile of my house. It really makes geocaching with my son easier and more informative. With accurate topo and stream information it is much easier to figure out a way to hike into to an unknown 'cache. I am planning a trip out west and plan to purchase the appropriate card for that area to make outdoor activities more fun.
