What kind of road data, if any, do the topo maps give you? I've done a little bit of caching up in the Pine/Payson area, and could have used the topo maps on a few occasions. However, I also do quite a bit of city caching. I would have thought you'd really want a combination of topo and city maps to effectively using it for caching (unless, of course, you *always* get to cache in the boonies 3 miles off the nearest road, in which case I'm insanely jealous of you ;) ). I guess maybe if you just use regular ole maps to get you in the vicinity of your location; I use autorouting in combo with physically verifying the maps right on the GPS. I have MetroGuide 5.0 because someone gave it to me. I use img2gps (available here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mdipol/img2gps/) to upload the maps onto my 60CSx in order to get the autorouting data. I've been told that I lost the ability to do address searches when I did this (I haven't noticed because I haven't wanted to do address searches yet, but I could forsee wanting to if I were travelling out of town). I've been thinking about getting the topo maps as well, but for now I'm still recovering from the GPS purchase. ;) -Lisa Cordell Harris wrote: > Two suggestions.
