 Not all I thought it would be. August 28, 2008
I purchased this for an E-Trex Legend handheld GPS that I use for OHV riding. I found that the Topo maps give adequate information on terrain, but leave out trails/roads that are present in the U.S Cities map that came with the Legend. So I traded out road/trail information for topographic information. I had assumed that the Topo maps would augment the routing information contained in the city maps, not substitute topography for routing. Since you can't use both maps simultaneously or switch on-the-fly with the Legend I'm not sure how useful it was to purchase this. The city map gives great road/trail info and the topo map gives great topography info, but I really wanted both in the same mapping software. Probably would not buy this if I had it do over again.

So far so good with Topo 2008. It is a nice addition to my relatively low-level Etrex unit. Garmin's instructions and documentation always leave something to be desired, but I am able to use it and manipulate the map segments I need on and off the unit. Sometimes I wish there were more details to the topo features, but the roads and streets are a nice upgrade from the base map that came with the GPS unit.
 Garmin topo gps CD August 11, 2008
Garmin topo program would not down load to Microsoft XP. I tried to work through Garmin customer service and was on hold for 1.5 hours. Then I reached the level 1 tech who then referred me to the level 2 tech whom I never could speak to. So, I returned the product to Amaxon.
Topo 2008 August 2, 2008
Good, but wish it included street addresses even though it's a topo. Very easy product to use!
 Not hardly worth it for the Idaho Panhandle July 29, 2008
1.) The fire road data is woefully incomplete, and some of the roads it knows about don't actually exist, which shouldn't happen as road beds just don't just disappear overnight.
2.) The colors are such that it's tough to distinguish a fire-road from a primary elevation line.
3.) It can't navigate to trailheads on fire-roads.
4.) Even if you buy a big memory chip, the software will only let you move a fraction of the US to your GPS. And if you want to change maps, you get to start over, which could be an hour-long download to your GPS.
All in all, I wish I'd investigated some of the free topo tools and data rather than buying this.
