Product Description
MapSource 24K TOPO- National Parks series of CD-ROMs!
24K TOPO is designed to provide interactive viewing of detailed topographic maps. 24K TOPO is vector-based and provides outdoor enthusiasts with innovative object oriented-cartography. Descriptive details for features typically found on topographic maps can easily be viewed with a simple key press. Cursor movements over the map provide descriptions for topographic contours, trail names, summit elevations, points of interest information and much more. The user has the ability to pre-plan their daily adventures from the comfort of their own home, using MapSource on the PC. Then they can download waypoints, routes and tracks to their Garmin GPS, including units that don't accept map data! This new cartography will provide recreational backpackers, experienced and novice hikers alike, and general outdoor enthusiasts with terrific topographic detail needed for their individual journeys. The topographic data is comparable to the 1:24,000 scale paper maps provided by the United States Geological Survey, which is the most detailed topographic data available.

Not what I expected

Comment:
The small amount of area covered is just not worth it. Also, while it says it covers national forests, it does not cover the Angeles National Forest, just north of LA and one of my favorite hiking areas. The use of color is limited and makes the trails difficult to see and follow. I had high hopes for this product but unfortunately it is a flawed presentation of the data and I returned it.

Comment:
This mapset provides detailed topo maps for Eastern National parks only. Be sure it includes the parks you want maps for. It includes NO topo maps of the areas surrounding the parks.
The mapset has excellent detail and is up to date but the first map you should purchase is USA topo. If you want more detail for National Parks, then purchase this series of maps.

Comment:
The description, "covering national parks, national forests, and some state parks in the Eastern U.S" is not true. Unlike Garmin's website, which does give the full list of locations (below), Amazon is not forthcoming. Too bad. Back it goes.
