matttom's Review of Garmin Topo GB
4th Apr 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Product Quality
- Sat Nav UsedEdge 705
Contour lines can be transferred to your Edge unit, other than that, nothing.
Bad Points
Poor quality and incorrect maps. Painful setup process. Really really poor effort, Garmin.
General Comments
I bought the Edge 705 and paid the extra £115 for Topo GB DVD. Although it improves the detail of the maps on the Edge unit, if you plan to buy this software for planning routes as i did then forget it. The contour lines and topographic detail seem to be accurate but paths and roads are simply incorrect with many well known tracks and bridleways missing or detailed as streams or rivers, some simply end at random. I only hope that if Garmin bring out an improved version it will be free for anybody who wasted money on this one. With so many FREE route planning websites around (bikely.com or mapmyride.com) to charge around £100 for this is almost criminal.
