Garmin Topo US 24k South Central, Garmin MicroSD/SD

I moved to western NC 3 years ago, I live in the Nantahala NF. I bought this mainly for hiking. I have a UTV so I drive on Forest service Roads to trail heads. There are miles of forest service roads and trails. A lot of loop trails off the Appalachian trail and trails to waterfalls and lookouts. After spending a week or so with the 24 topo inserted in my Garmin 66i I have noticed a dozen or so trails not on the map 1 trail will be crossing another trail not shown. So the 24 topo is good and if your blazing a new trail backwoods it will be very useful. But I don\'t understand why some long and established trails are not included.
Really pleased with these maps and the gps I bought them for
What is wrong with GPS is the tiny screens that have you zooming in to try to get the detail to show up, and out again to see enough of your map to get even a glimpse of the bigger picture. Worse yet, they won\'t let you export a map or trace to print out for a trip journal or for annotation or use for planning the next days exploration. Copyright and profit maximizing beat out what is best for hikers, big time on everything GPS.This map is OK. It has pretty good detail, and in use seems to generally match the terrain fairly well. I use mine some of the time hiking, but not always. The devices that use this map data, will give you a trace to follow to get back to your starting point, if the batteries last long enough. (take spares), but otherwise, using them just sucks once the novelty wears off. Paper maps are much better for planning and I like them better on the trail.The GPS satellite location and trace feature is a reassuring novelty for occasional fair weather hikers. but it can be a real help if you run out of daylight and are finding your way back out of the wild at night.
I bought this same topographic map microchip of the U.S. West Coast approximately five years ago. I was happy then, but found this revised microchip even better. Its an improvement in that the topographic contour line contain the smooth curves as the USGS maps have. Absent are the segmented straight line segments that result from digitizing topo contours from another map. This is an excellent product. Best quality maps yet. I plan to purchase another one for my other Garmin GPS and replace the five year old microchip.
This is the 4th TOPO microSD/SD card I have purchased. To start with the good--it works in all the apparatus I want it to (PC, GPS, etc) the microsSD/SD combination ensures that. The data appears up to date although I am unable to check all trails, etc--details that others have reported missing in other maps areas (and I have noticed in my Atlantic area set). My big gripe and why I rate this as a 3 is that the card is advertised as having Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa yet my card came with only Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Frankly I was only interested in those 3 states but paid what I thought was a higher amount for the additional states vs other 2-4 state coverages because this set came with the microSD/SD card. I think that Garmin has so many variations of these map coverages floating around that they themselves can\'t even keep them straight.
I have only played around with this product for a about an hour, the weather has been so bad lately, I have not had the desire to pull out my camera gear and head out on the trail to test this puppy in any detail. Around the house though it does suggest it has potential. Maybe after I can get out on the trail I can push a 3 star rating upward, but sure does keep me from getting lost in the woods around the estate.
Seems alright, around town for geocaching. Some roads on gps show through roads when in reality are dead ends. The date on the package shows 2015. I haven\'t been on a trail with it yet but the map detail looks great. The delivery from seller was good and arrived ahead of estimated delivery date.
SD card was defective. Topo maps would not display on my GPS unit despite being recognized by the device or in BaseCamp. I have modified my review from 1 star to 3 because the seller promptly offered a replacement or refund. (I elected refund and downloaded the map, which functions as expected, directly from Garmin.) Unfortunately I paid expedited shipping in order to receive the map in time for a GPS navigation class only to figure out with the aid of the instructor that it was defunct.
