Garmin US Topo 24K - East or Northeast?
coldstream
91 Points
I did a search on this forum but was not able to find any answers to my question. Does anyone know the timeline that Garmin has for releasing the rest of the Topo 24K maps? I'm specifically looking for the Northeast region or East. Planning to do a lot of hiking, biking and paddling this summer starting with a week-long trip in Acadia NP. I'm aware of the National Parks version but wanted a more extensive coverage of U.S.
P.S. I have a new Oregon 400T.

You might grow old waiting for Garmin to release a Northeast topo I'm afraid (but I really don't know). They seem to like the Western states... just look at their products like the Oregon and the Colorado. Don't hold your breath waiting for them to introduce one called "the Maine" :wink:
Have you looked at the free topos on GPSFileDepot.com? Some of them are quite nice... and they're free!

But this gets more complicated as the 4000 limit pertains to ALL maps loaded on the unit, including any pre-loaded maps and the basemap. So based on this, it sounds like there wouldn't be much point in getting a card larger than 4gb, unless perhaps you want to record LOTS of tracks and use LOTS of maps.
A review of these maps was posted awhile ago on another site and the author said the routing worked very well. But of course, coverage is still very limited for these new maps and it would be ridiculously expensive to purchase maps for the entire country even if they were available.
Take a look at Garmin's US Topo 24k National Parks East:

According to Garmin: I have not used these maps so I can't offer any personal insights. But if you go to the URL above and click on "View Map" you can use Garmin's map viewer to see the coverage areas. Set the detail to "more" in order to see everything.

its not on the garmin site.
It makes more sense to buy the DVD version of US Topo 100k and load your own data cards for the regions which interest you IMO. Regardless, the 100k topo's have been around for awhile and are completely different from the 24k Topo's.
Unfortunately there is a lot of confusion here because the original poster asked about "Garmin US Topo 24K - East or Northeast?", but there is no such thing as a 24k US Topo East or Northeast.
my unit. Its a little pricey but works superb, and it has routes and trails
on it. I go all over in Maine hiking, and believe this is fantastic. For hiking
Acadia, it would be a snap. I had to install from the dvd, but if you have
the hcx version you can just insert the chip, and wallah you are there.
