Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin MapSource Topo U.S. 2008
Customer Review: The Weakest Link has a new member - Topo USA
Summary: 2 Stars
Based on my earlier experiences with GPSs for 20 years now (recreation, flying, nothing exotic), and a recent Garmin street pilot, I decided to stick with the name brand Garmin. And earlier reviews about their basemaps being... well, too basic, I purchased TOPO, USA to supplement the map features of my GPSMAP 60Cx. (Magellen offered MapSend, therefore Garmin's topo program must be similar and useful, right?.) I pretty much discounted low rated reviews about TOPO USA issues, such as being locked, maps being off, etc. How tough can these be to install and use?
The Weakest Link can now be applied to TOPO, USA. Instructions were 3 steps inside the CD jacket, ending with "Follow the prompts" (which I did), there are NO OTHER INSTRUCTIONS. Nada. Zip. Not even on the CD.
Getting the software to connect via USB to GPSMAP 60Cx was... interesting. In spite of my 20+ years on a PC, I had to try a variety of PC reboots (1st, or 2nd), with the GPSMAP (on, or off). I did finally manage to get Colorado topo data transfered, and while still "connected" discovered the software/GMPSMAP no longer communicated, and had to revert to rebooting. Restarting TOPO USA did not reset any connection.
And finally, the map is not accurate, as the local US highway curves in opposite directions than the underlying Garmin map, my street has no 45 degree direction changes and is about 2-tenths of a mile further south than Garmin claims.
The receiver closely matchs my aging Magellen in lat/long numbers, so I give credit for all the above anomalies to the Garmin map datum and implementation.
Think I might try the preloaded Garmin Topo chip instead, but once burned...etc.
Previous poor reviews of TOPO USA were warranted, I was wrong to have dismissed them.
