Scott, it sounds like you've received all the technical answers to you
questions that you need.
I'm no map-reader and, although I've had topo maps in the past, never really
understood them. Never felt I confident about where I was on the map. Of
course, resolving that is one of the real beauties of GPS.
I use Mapsource with my eMap and it has plenty of detail for the casual sort
of use I put it to. The routes I plot usually work out just fine and I can
identify the landmarks and topography I see on the map as I drive and hike
into an area.
They work fine for me, but I'm not a connoisseur.
