 Does not provide enough detail October 23, 2008

While I am sure the detail for the parks that it does cover within in California is ok (haven't used it in real life). The overall coverage/offering the west coast product provides seems sparse. There are ZERO sections outside of national parks within California which are covered. For myself I was hoping that the West Coast Topo 24K CD would give me forest information as well.
Please note, while package delivery was PERFECT and the dollar amount was better than any local store... I personal feel I just wasted some cash.
 Did not work. October 1, 2008

Could not load into Garmin with either an XP or Vista system. Helps were very limited. Am returning for refund.
good for the parks only September 24, 2008

The detail for the parks is really good although not all parks are shown such as several state parks in my state are missing. But I suppose that is to be expected with a National Park edition. As usual with Garmin map products, if you look at other than the parks some streets will just not be there or only partially.
Not all trails are shown either in the Parks.

Before you buy, make sure it covers the area you are expecting. It's narrower than I was expecting, and therefore it's a little pricey. the parks it covers, it does quite well.
 Detailed and Accurate Enough, But Expensive July 27, 2008

Unfortunately, the Garmin hiking GPS units do not have detailed maps, so I needed to buy this particular software for all the eastern National Parks (and the Adirondack State Park). The area covers most every park from Florida to Maine. You do need to purchase a small memory card that is inserted into the battery compartment of your Garmin handheld for data storage. I bought a 2 GB Sandisk card to make sure I had plenty of memory. The maps are at a scale of 1:24,000 (from USGS maps) and are not extremely detailed, but will get you to wherever to want to go (and return). There are plenty of accurate points of interest (POI) such as visitor's centers, camping and picnic areas, wilderness campsites, ranger stations, restaurants and lodges, trail names, summit elevations, peaks, roads and hiking trails, etc. You can even download specific quadrants of areas to your liking without having to download extra information you might never need. I have been able to share trails and waypoints from friends and download them into my handheld for easy use. It's not the most detailed mapping data, but it is enough to get you where you want to go (and back again).
The Mapsource program has a ton of valuable tools for use on your PC (or MAC). Most all of your hiking and mapping needs can be accomplished on your computer before (and afterwards) so you can save all the valuable data you need or have acquired. In fact, there are almost too many tools to grasp, making this a worthwhile (if slightly over-priced) piece of software.

| Worthwhile Reading | Reduce Gas Costs by Driving More Efficiently with GPS
By Jeremy Lakota
Whether the current cost of gasoline is affordable or astronomical, providing yourself or someone you love the assistance of a car GPS unit helps in many ways. Especially as both a wantonly punctual driver and consumer of motor fuel, the cost of which fluctuates quite regularly into very expensive. Our driving habits can help offset this cost.
Even for motorists who are filling up their tanks just weekly, adding a GPS device to even common commutes can show most efficient routes. Those that can save a great deal of gas because they are driven most days. A couple miles can really add up over the course of a work week. With any route that focuses more on town or city roads instead of highways, the small loss of engine efficiency should be considered, too. Especially for trips over eighty miles.
When buying a car GPS, it is important to look for ease-of-use features like touch screen display and voice activation. These common, but not universal, features provide an overall better experience. A large number of GPS owners who have been using car GPS for several years are repurchasing their GPS device or upgrading their GPS experience with new devices from companies like Garmin, TomTom, Magellan, Mio, and SureShot (a golf GPS device!).
For travelers who travel a lot or go to new locations often, using the most fuel-efficient route over a year can balance out the cost of a new car GPS device. A lot of the popular units go for between $200 and $500. And, if you want the overall best experience, you can get top-of-the-line for a mere starting price of around $600. With one of these you can be the envy of all your friends that have car GPS, too. Click here to see some great car GPS devices available now.
