Very disapointing with my recently purchased of Topo GB map. As said by other reviewers many paths show on OS not shown on Topo and generally detail/mapping quality poor. I just wish I had seen the reviews before purchsing and parting with £150 since I also feel product not worth the money.

I bought a 2GB SD card but no info. given about how much of my Topo GB map it will hold so start loading in sections i.e. Scotland first (45 minutes)only then to find that when loading England it wipe out Scotland !! So now involved in long, time wasting, trial and error exercise to get as much as possible on the SD card.

Also having used computers and electronic product for many years I find the Garwin eTrex Legend HCx GPS a very non user friendly product. After 3 months use I'm only now just beginning to work it all out. Also it was another Garmin disappointment to find that a product costing over £200 designed to help walkers etc. shows nothing but A & B roads, no rivers, no hills, no paths, no contours or other points of reference was another Garmin dissapointment. I thought spending another £150 on Topo map would solve the problem but I'm afraid to say not so.

Lastly,when I purchased my GPS I read in a guide book that they were on top of the list of items that people get quickly fed up with after trying to master workings and put in bottom draw and are forgot about. After three months I quite see how this can happen but intend to persist.

Garmin need to do a lot better if they wish to stay at front in this line of business in future.
