hunting GPS maps ? opinions.

[scottcrb]

So I looked through the archives a little but there weren't many reviews or nothing too recent about the hunting GPS maps for Wa etc what do you guys think ? Likes ? Dislikes? Or better ideas . I got a new Garmin gpsmap 62st for Xmas and want a 24 k topo map for it . Thanks

The Hunting GPS mapping software is worth every penny.

I have been using their maps for 3 years and like them a lot.  That said you can get just as good of a map for free from GPSFileDepot.com     I have used both and their is not much difference in the quality of the Topo map.  The only advantage to the Hunting GPS Maps is that the land ownership gets updated every year with new info, where as the land ownership map on GPSFileDepot is from 2011.  Used to even be able to get the GMU transparent overlay on GPSFileDepot but I think they changed the link to Hunting GPS Maps website.  If that is the case I have a copy of the GMU overlay I could email to you.  Just PM me your email address.

Can that mapping software be used with Garmin Rino's?  I have the 530 HCX

i have the rhino 610 a buddy has the oregon we are both using Hunting GPS Maps software and operating the under the same liscense and we love it. wish more people would have it then i would see so many tresspassers. there are alot of features that i didnt know about till after getting it, like mapping a trail or points on google earth and loading it to your gps. too much to list now i recomend getting it. you wont be disappointed.

of the guys that have gpshunting maps do you think the card is better than the download or vise versa? not sure if im gonna want to put other maps on a card for my gps and if there will be any room on the provided card from gpsmaps or if i would need to buy another card for other maps that i want to have?

Ive had it for years and I prefer the down loaded version because they automatically update for free instead of having to send your card in for a fee..

I got one as a gift..the WA/OR and ID sd card..I cannot for the life of me tell any difference in my gps as what in the hell $100 sd was suppose to show me.. looks no different and shows me nothing any different than what my Oregon 450 already did

The Wa/Or/Id chip Only has topo and public/private info. You want the Wa specific card as it has the platt (owners names) info.

so if you download the version to your gps do you ever put a chip in that has other maps to overlay on your gps from gpsfiledepot or anyhtign? or is that not needed? does the download version slow your gps at all or take up a lot of the memory?
