I just received my new Garmin Legend and I want to use it for the mountains
of Arizona while climbing. What topo map software have you used for mountins
and trails. Any good deals out there?
Thanks

I use Garmin's MapSource Topo USA. I've mostly used it for the
northeast, but it shows just about all roads, trails, streams/rivers,
detailed shorelines and islands for lakes, rivers, and oceans (I've
used it kayaking), and topo lines (elevation lines). It has served me
well.

Cathy,
Have you notice that the contour lines aren't very accurate
in the NorthEast? That's probably my biggest complaint with
the Garmin topos. I've been standing there looking at a
100-200 foot hill in front of me and the garmin says it's flat.

Besides official Garmin topo maps there are hundreds of open source maps
available at various servers:
http://mapcenter.cgpsmapper.com/catalogue.php
http://www.aracnet.com/~seagull/ORTopo/coverage.html
Everything depends where do you want to go.
