Works on eTrex, nice detail, but clunky. |
I recently bought the Garmin Topo Canada software for my eTrex Venture HC, even though a search on Garmin's site did not list it as compatible software.
I found it worked exactly like the Garmin US Topo (more on this) and loaded on the eTrex without any problems.
The Canada Topo does a nice job listing all major and minor roads, streams, mountains, and hiking paths in SW Canada (my favorite area). I was also pleased with the high road detail in Banff, Lake Louise, Calgary, etc. Oddly, it did not list the famous "tea houses" above Lake Louise, though it did list the paths leading to them. It also omitted the famous Prince of Wales hotel at Waterton and the paint pots above Johnston Canyon.
Garmin still resists updating their incredibly clunky software. Instead of a single DVD, Garmin still ships four CD's requiring switching out disks to load maps, a real chore when your path leads between map sections. Plus the software still operates like it did under Windows 95! Slow, awkward, expensive and clunky, but it does work.

Great Product - but maps are very large |
|
At first I thought this was way too expensive, but the level of detail is amazing. As a results the map sizes get extremely large quickly, but overall a great product |

No trails |
|
The topo maps are fine on this product, but for hiking I wouldn't bother - there are no trails. I searched around Jasper National Park and Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, and couldn't find *any* trails in this map set at any level of zoom or detail. If you're used to the US Topo maps by Garmin, you'll be disappointed. The disks I received from Americancivilwar said "Version 2.0", which were ordered in August, 2007. |

Pretty good |
Good topo maps. Most lakes, streams, peaks are marked, along with surprisingly good coverage of minor roads and back roads (which are routable in MapSource). MapSource calculated driving routes are often sub-optimal, but this is to be expected given that this is the topo product.
My biggest complaint is that few trails are marked. |

Mapsource Topo Canada |

Great piece of kit your hand held GPS. I use it on my etrex Legend C, it has more detail than the City Navigator for my area. If you're thinking of buying a City Nav. from Mapsource take a look at the "actual view" feature on the Mapsource web site and compare the two before you buy... you might be surprised at how much better the Topo is. It's easy to download the area's you want to view, save yourself some time and read the instructions. It actually does exactly what it says in the user's manual!! I'm a MAC user and had to do it all on an old beaten up PC, and it was very straightforward. (Just wish Garmin made MAC compatible stuff... come on guys get with MAC!!) |
