For topo try ibycus ver 4.0 and load to Garmin or even Open Street Maps or OSM
Thanks, now I need to remember where is my connection cable.Quote:

Problem is at the time you have a 1.5" x 2" screen that just shows a line of where your walking, if you move back forth too much over a certain area or if you cross back and forth its very hard to see anything.
Basically its an etch-a-sketch line that follows you, too much overlap and its just a black section.
Still - would rather have it than not have, and for going back to maps from previous years hunt and seeing exactly where you were is pretty useful
Just my 2 cents
I'm not going to buy garmin again. my handheld unit is up in age by now, but I was very disappointed back when I bought it to find out that firmware did not support hardware (which I payed good $$ for) and they never cared to update it. Garmin's map was also off by over 500m (good satellite reception).
I had other similar issues after windows 7 introduction with the 32 to 64 bit change, but the lack of support was then for expensive certified units
the units are okay, but not cheap and the company gives a hoot about their customers
I have a Magellan but very rarely use it anymore. I have it in my backpack as backup. It has key waypoints in it to get me back out of the bush if needed, but now I just use a app on my phone. There are many out there and I'm looking for a new one right now. Google had "my tracks" and it was fantastic but it no longer works.
I used to use it while snowmobiling, was neat to look back and actually see where I was riding.
We all have our phones with us, why carry a second device?

I have several GPS type apps on my phone but battery life is better witha Garmin and so are the other stand alone features.
I have Golf GPS(Good for that long shot, just drag a cursor from your location to any spoton the map and it immediately lists a distance in meters or yards). I use a LRF also.
Motion x-GPS is also on my phone yet seldom used.
I also have Google Earth, Google Maps and Apple Maps yet the Garmin gets the nod in the backwoods.
Garmin Montana 650....works great...had a GPS76csx before some lowlife broke into my truck and stole it along with a few other items!
