    GARMIN Colorado 300

I am extremeley dissapointed in the TOPO Mapping I purchased for my GARMIN Colorado 300.

The cover on the case of the SD card I purchased it on carries an Ordnance Survey logo and states 'Enabled by' just in front of it.

Having read previous reviews and noted that GARMIN seem uninterested in the level of satisfaction I have sent the following letter to Ordnance survey and will post their answer here later.Maybe if more people do the same the OS will do something.

"Dear Sirs,
I purchased a Micro SD data card for my Garmin Colorado 300 with TOPO Great Britain mapping for Northern England. Reference 010-C****-00 TOPO GB. The cover of the mapping casing is endorsed with the Ordnance Survey logo and this is the only reason I purchased it as I specifically expected to find detailed mapping of footpaths, bridle ways and the detail that I have come to expect from Ordnance Survey Maps.I am afraid that the product is not fit for purpose as many footpaths are not shown, many more seem to start and stop in the middle of nowhere with gaps in them as well. I have to say that I am surprised such a bad product carries an Ordnance Survey logo and hence implies to a buyer that Ordnance Survey has endorsed it.

There are many threads from purchasers complaining that GARMIN have taken a very uninterested stance concerning the fact they have many unhappy customers that share my view and I would be interested to learn just exactly what the term 'enabled by Ordnance Survey ' is supposed to imply as you can rest assured that I expect a full refund for this unusable product.
I consider that I have been misled with this product through misrepresentation caused by your trusted logo appearing on the product and that this product is being 'passed off' as an OS product when in fact the product itself is not to OS standards.
I look forward to your earliest response.
Many Thanks"
