 Good for what GPS Software is for July 9, 2010

Software is adequate! It does take awhile to load, but the maps work for what they are meant. I use it for hunting and fishing, it works great! If you are relying on software to tell you where to go in the wilderness...you probably should stay in the city! A GPS and its software are helpful and useful for marking waypoints (campsite, parking spot, good fishing holes, where you have been). This software is designed for ASSISTING in getting you out of potential bad situations and marking spots you have been. The software is not, as much as everyone wants to believe and as is advertised, for helping you find a trail. You, the outdoorsmen, should find your own friggin trail, and not rely a satellite dependent object! Buy the software for what it is meant for, accompany it with tried and true maps, a good old fashioned compass, and your senses- you will be just fine! Like I said, the software works fine, importing and exporting data are easy, install of the product takes awhile (does that really matter), and reading the maps on the unit are easy enough. If you are going to nit-pick every detail of the program you probably should never shop for anything again, because like everything else in life, the product is not perfect, but adequate.
Very Good TOPO November 9, 2009

As with most Garmin products this is an excellent map program. Much more details than the older programs. It does take a while to install on your hard drive but who cares?
 Great Match For GPS HCX Series June 8, 2009

I purchased this for my Garmin Vista HCX and the two make an unbeatable combo. I can be on a trail, in the mountains and request a route home. The route will state something like this:
Go north to forest trail 122 (4 miles).
Turn right on forest trail 122.
Go to farm road CO123 (12 miles).
Turn right on I25 (43 miles)
... Arrive at home (123 miles 6.5 hours)
The miles listed are the trail miles and not straight line distance. When I have passed a national forest sign that says Jones Park 1.7 miles and checked the distance on my GPS it matches exactly.
The find feature is good as well. Want to know if there are any hot springs in your hiking area? Do a find on "Hot Spring" and the nearest one will be listed and you can plot a route to it as shown above.
Overall, a very good product that I highly recommend.
Good, but could be better July 28, 2010

It's safe to say that most GPS units are not made to be as user friendly as possible, and this software is no different. However, it isn't that difficult to use, and will help you get a lot more out of your GPS.
Having said that, it is -ridiculous- that you have to pay so much to get these maps. I got the Southwest maps because that's where I live and do most of my hiking. But I'm taking a trip to backpack in Montana soon, and it just isn't worth it to buy the separate map DVD for that trip. If these things were cheaper, I would've.
Amazon's price is much better than most others, but still very high compared to maps for GPS units from other manufacturers. I guess it's cheaper than buying lots of paper maps, but you have to do that anyway because you're crazy if you rely only on your GPS when you're in a place where navigation is a serious concern.
It works January 31, 2010

It's a map! the detail is good for me. I did notice that some dirt roads were not accurate when compared with your tracks, but that has not been a problem
