Customer Review: Useable GPS maps of the world--great Google Earth tie-in
Summary: 4 Stars
We do a lot of foreign travel and periodically use a Garmin 60C GPS for understanding where we're going and where we've been. For example, in 2009 we headed to Nepal and Tibet to do some treking and white-water rafting, in 2008 it was central Africa, in 2006 we explored the ice fields and Fjords of Patagonia. None of these areas had easy to acquire maps, so I bought Garmin's WorldMap to at least provide rudimentary maps of the areas. This is about all the WorldMap does, as it is quite "high level" with only the major roads and towns available. However, it does provide downloadable maps for the GPS so that you have something to display in these non-US areas and something to use on your computer screen when planning the trip.
Probably my favorite use of the maps is its built-in tie to Google Earth. Once you locate your places of interest using World Map on your computer, you can click on the "View in Google Earth" and instantly view your waypoints and routes in Google Earth with infinite detail. Vise versa, I often use Google Earth to locate detailed GPS coordinates and copy them into my WorldMap software for download to the GPS; this provides a workaround for the low detail and poor accuracy of maps. When you get home you can also upload your world-wide tracks and waypoints that you acquired on your trip and view them in Google Earth to know exactly where you were and where to post pictures, if you do that. This interactivity with Google Earth saves the day for what otherwise is a pretty limited level of map detail.
In the US, I do a lot of off-road exploring, mostly in the southwest deserts. Here I use Garmin's Topo USA 2008 Garmin Mapsource Topo US 2008. It has infinite detail, on and off-road, and the same wonderful Google-Earth connectivity.
