Additionally, the Astro 430 comes pre-loaded with TOPO U.S. 100K mapping and a free one-year subscription to BirdsEye Satellite Imagery. The device includes many features, including 1:24K scale TOPO mapping, pre-loaded BirdsEye, public/private land ownership boundaries and data, food/fuel. Garmin recently finished rolling out their new TOPO US 24K map sets. They are available as downloads and on micro-SD cards, with larger regions available on DVD. All three formats can be purchased directly from Garmin as well as various retailers. The new product offers several advantages including.
One of the most frustrating (and lame) things I learned when researching GPS units was their crippled map capabilities. I really liked the features and price of the Garmins, but National Geographic TOPO (which, in my opinion, has the most comprehensive and powerful mapping tools) aren’t able to be displayed on the GPS unit’s screen. Garmin has its own map software, but it’s overpriced, out of date, and missing giant chunks of hikers’ territories in the 1:24k resolution that’s best for the trail., for instance, covers the Santa Monica Mountains and the San Bernardino National Forest, but not the Angeles, Cleveland, or Los Padres.
Until they update their data and give me more detailed maps, I ain’t handin’ over any hard-earned cash. It’s not easy, but a temporary solution is here — free, user-created, Garmin-compatible GPS maps. The gearheads over at GPS Tracklog have of sources and instructions on how to get some free 24k maps from the internets into your Garmin GPS. It requires a bunch of different web sites and a Windows freeware download, but hey — that’s what we hax0rs have to do when The Man doesn’t give us what we need, right?

Some of the they link to have great, detailed maps of Sequoia and Kings Canyon, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and Lassen — but still no Angeles National Forest. So we’ve still got a ways to go. Still, it’s free.
So don’t complain. VeggieHiker Jun 23, 2009 17:06 I use pocket PC (an PDA) loaded with memory-map (a program) and a bluetooth GPS receiver. It worked the best I have to say. Forget those pricy GPS Garmins. With Memory-Map you pretty can load any map from any vendors into your pocket PC. Most cell phone has pocket PC version on the market. If not, you can get an used one for a very cheap price.

Bluetooth GPS receiver price is dropping almost to nothing and with Memory-map, you got life-time upgrade. Can't see any better deal than that. Kendall May 13, 2009 13:05 I recently got a garmin as a gift. It seemed insane to me to pay ANOTHER $100 for good maps, I was pissed for a bit, then I researched and found: which had good topos of Colorado. I also had to research to figure out how to use the garmin with a mac. Downloaded Garmin 'Road trip' and installed the free mapset, viola.I can save and print images of my hikes with elevation plots and waypoints, plan future hikes or drives, and much more.

The map I currently have installed does not have trails on it, but oh well, I'll always carry a paper map and compass just in case anyways. One thing is certain, I'll never pay more.
Well, the good news is that Garmin is finally starting to offer 1:24K scale US topographic maps for some of their GPS units. While they’ve had these maps for US National Parks in the, and for quite a while, they’re now issuing them for the US as a whole. These are different from the 1:100K Garmin topo maps available for a while, with the.
