Howdy All,

Speaking of software...

Is anyone using the Garmin Mapsource CD software with their garmin Etrex 
(legend or vista) GPS?

I hear it is the 1:100,000th scale. (7.5' topo's are 1:24,000th).

What I am wondering is... does the software, when downloaded, look exactly 
like the real 1:100,000th topos? I have been curious to here some 'reviews' 
on it as I am looking to purchase mapping software so I can put some topo 
maps in my Etrex Legend.

I have also heard that the Garmin Etrex (or other Garmins) only except 
downloaded maps from Garmin's Mapsource? Is this true? I have heard I can 
use other mapping software to download waypoints and routes and stuff, but, 
only Mapsoure will actually download maps.

Finally.. are there any other Etrex Legend or Vista users out there that 
have the Mapsource (or other if so) topo maps in their GPS's? Exactly how 
much is 8MB of maps? Is that enough for the whole state of AZ or only a 
given area?

Thanks!
