| I was weighing the difference between getting a GPS with
the maps pre-loaded. Upon reading a review that suggested
against it, I bought the DVD. Awesome advice, I like the
fact that I don't have to have all of Canada maps slowing
down the GPS processor. |      |

| Good overall but still trying to find way to move maps from
GPS to computor and back. I find maps on Basecamp and
Mapsource but can't seem to bring them back to GPS for
reuse. I must be doing smething wrong?? |      |

| well, I've seen some people complaining about details on the
ATV roads and other backcountry roads. I don't really care,
I never walk a road and always look for the best way up the
mountain. The topo map is super detailed and pairing it with
Basecamp was a good move. The 3D view and the ability to
"walk around" your objective is awesome in planning a route.
I heard people saying the maps are large.... unless you fly
you will never cover in your life the surface you can stock
in this unit. I have installed maps for whole AB and BC and
I used 1/3 of the memory.
Planning a route is simple and easy. Deleting waypoints was
trickier, but after you figure it out it is really easy.
I have installed on a Mac and it works great. It took a
while till I finished with all the plugins, updates and all
the rest, but once installed is painless.
Reading the reviews I learnt that it is way better to go
with the 62s and a topo map, than with the 62st (which
includes a topo map, but older...) |      |

| The map is the Garmin Topographic Canada DVD with Basecamp
are not as good as the version 2 maps, detail on logging
roads and such seems to be missing. Since I use this a fair
amount I am disappointed with this version. Good that it is
all on one DVD and expanded maps as well. | |
