4Alternative to buying MapSource Topo 2008
By E. Benson
First, I'm not knocking the TOPO US too much. It is costly and does not have high solution but it fills a niche. If you need a TOPO map in a hurry, I suppose it is the best alternative.

4Decent mapping if you don't require auto-routing capability
By L. G. CHARLOT
TOPO 2008 has a lot of good points: it's half the price of most of Garmin's other cartography products, and it doesn't require an unlock code. Read a good deal of of the reviews on Garmin's "City Navigator North America" product - there are a heap of real horror stories when it comes to the difficultnesses persons have had with Garmin's unlock code system.
NOTE: In specific discussion of how TOPO 2008 interfaces with a GPS, the unit employed in this review is a Garmin 60CX.
