The price & detail. The supplied Garmin maps are very basic, they want you to pony up $$ for the good ones.Whats the win of openmapchest.org maps vs the Garmin supplied ones? ie are there more streets, gravel roads and so on...
He's called Ben Konrath, knows his stuff. Try them for free (I did) then donate if you like what you got. Being paid up opens a few more doors but the maps are 100% usable without.copy that. Not interested in giving Garmin $ but I don't mind the open guy :)
For Topographics or just basic street maps?I have some older units without the lifetime option. Not worth spending for an update.
I have the topo, street as close to navigator look and feel is needed.For Topographics or just basic street maps?
routable? I have not found free routable maps, but I have not honestly searched real hard. The $$Garmin$$ maps are routable so I can build a track at home.He's called Ben Konrath, knows his stuff.

Yes as long as you buy the downloadable type and not the ones on an SD card.Can the maps be combined ie would like to have both the US Northeast and South maps on the 600 if possible.
Your buddies have set it up wrong it half the screen is plastered with other stuff... It took a bit of playing around but I have a full view of the map on mine..I looked at the XT. My buddy and garage mate has one.
I was hopeful. BUT, after looking at it, it looks like they took everything which sucked about the new Zumo user interface, and ADDED more shit to it.
It really doesn't matter if your screen is big, if 50% of it is buttons and crap.

Who's got routeable maps for free? Ben somebody, how or where can I check these out for my xt? I'm about ready to give garmin another $100 for their 24k topo of the northwest USA
I use Google Maps on the phone for the 1st & last mile, let the GPS get me close then Google closes the deal.What doesn’t work well is address search. I’ve only seen that work well on Garmin maps.
