Can that mapping software be used with Garmin Rino's? I have the 530 HCX
Yes it can. That is what I have is the 530 HCX.

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.

WA state. I know they show private ownership but was just wanting to know if they show DNR land that is sparsely located in private timber company land. You can't camp on weyerhaeuser land but legally you can camp on dnr land that is in the middle of the timber lands.Yes, exactly what I did last year. We hunted and then at nightfall I looked on gps and drove to nearest parcel of state land and parked truck and camper for the night. Built a campfire about 5ft away from weyco border one night as a tree blocked the road but I still could squeeze onto state land barely! great legal way to do this! :tup:

Loaded the Washington only map into my Rino and was impressed when I dialed it down and saw my name and all my neighbors names for their properties

State specific maps have PLAT data with landowner names. The regional maps just list private land as private. Other than that the maps are identical. DNR land is shown as a different color than surrounding ownership types such as timber companies, private land, forest service, etc.
SD vs. Download. Both can be viewed on your GPS and computer now and also updated through our website. Benefit to SD is plug and play option so pretty easy to do. The Download can be installed on the internal memory or on an SD card for your GPS.
We are currently only missing 3 counties with land owner names: Asotin, Jefferson, and Whitman. We should be adding Jefferson on our next update in August. The others two just aren't available yet.
If you have any questions just let us know via PM, email, etc.
Cheers,
Matt

Welcome to the site. Any chance of a deal for Hunt-Wa members? Perhaps 50% on the annual update? Regardless, you have a cool product and thank you so much for the sponsorship. :tup:

I asked an enforcement officer there how reliable the software was. He told me they use the same software and would never cite anyone when the GPS showed them on public land.
How much more could one ask for?

I've had two incidents where individuals tried to tell me I was hunting on their land. One was an outfitter who threatened me while I was antelope hunting in Wyoming on public land. I told him "I'm on public land according to my GPS. If you wish to threaten me, I'd be glad to wait for the sheriff to sort it out. If you're wrong I will ask that you be cited for hunter harassment." He left.Absolutely nothing :tup: Good advice.

I found it is not all that current. I also found that it does not show very many roads in my hunting area....matter of fact it shows almost none of the roads. Kinda disappointed in that aspect. I actually use my free downloaded map more and it is as good if not better than the $100 maps in question.
I do like it for the State and Federal Land boundaries though.

SD vs. Download
2 Ways to Order
1. Pre-Loaded microSD/SD card - Simply plug card into your GPS and go
microSD/SD card Advantages
Very Easy to use! Simply plug the memory card into the memory card slot on your GPS and go.
No downloading software and messing with the computer.
The microSD can also be used to view the map on your computer through Garmin's BaseCamp software (for Advanced Users). View the map on your computer to help find areas to hunt or scout before you hit the ground.
microSD/SD card Disadvantages
Some GPS units don't take microSD or SD cards, so you will have to use the download version.
2. Download Version - View Maps on your Computer for trip planning and scouting, then send maps to your GPS or your own SD card
Download Version Advantages
Download version allows you to view the map on the computer then send the map to a GPS. View the map on your computer to help find areas to hunt or scout before you hit the ground.
Updating your map is faster. Simply download the new version of the map from our website and install it on your GPS.
Download Version Disadvantages
Downloading and installing all the maps and necessary software can be difficult and time-consuming.
For Advanced Users only
High Speed Internet required for these large file downloads

I assume you have the most current version but would check that first.

Yeah I bought the download version and after seeing the discrepency with my property I check to see if it need to be updated but there were no updates. As far as my families property... nothing has changed in 15 years so updates shouldn't even be needed and there are some HUGE discrepencies that are flat out wrong and not just little errors. We are talking quarter-quarter section sized areas. I'm sure that 99 % of their information is correct and that it is a great product but after seeing that the properties I know about being incorrect it makes it sort of difficult to have faith to rely on it for any property I don't know about.
Post by: Bob33 on September 23, 2013, 03:47:12 PM
How do know it is 99% accurate?
What did they say when you pointed out the disrepancies to them?

I would assume that all the land owner info comes from the office of the assessor for each county. It's probably the counties who haven't updated their info regularly and not gpshuntingmaps.That is my suspicion but would like to confirm.

I don't know that it is. I just don't want to bad mouth them. I was just saying I'm sure they are fairly accurate for the most part. I haven't contacted them yet because I'm at my parents right now.

Love being able to switch from Satellite to Topo and back again even with no data signal.
One improvement I would like to see would to be able to zoom in a little closer than 4000ft (approx) with no data signal.
Post by: grundy53 on September 26, 2013, 05:21:42 PM
I've been gone on vacation or would have responded earlier. Thanks for the feedback and not throwing us under the bus right away. Each county is different on how fast they update their data and I'm sure some mistakes are made by each county. In general I know that we have the best data available to us. We are currently updating the land ownership info for every county and should be releasing another update in about 1 month. This is a major project for us and will hopefully get the map updated even more. We will be adding Jefferson county so only Whitman and Asotin don't have land owner names. I don't expect those to be available anytime soon due to the those counties not having the data.
Cheers,
Matt

looking just east of i-5 in shoreline just north of 155th all plots around me say private. king county thing?In King County, and around Seattle in particular parcels smaller than a certain size do not display ownership.
It probably has no impact at all on hunting opportunity because it only occurs in densely populated areas.
However, I've complained about it to Hunting GPS Maps. I encourage you to do so as well.

oh ok . i just checked and there was no update for my map. i just need to spend some more time with my gps and the maps to get more comfortable with them. is there anyone close who has the garmin gpsmap 62st that can give a good tutorial on best uses tricks/tips etc? was thinking about trying one of those REI classes but seems a little spendy and kinda basic.
I have the 62ST, I do not use a GPS to the full capabilities, I use Base Camp to mark any interesting hunting areas, then upload to my GPS those Way points.
I mainly use the track function, as a fail safe to find my way home, or back to my truck, LOL
One thing I do is change my track color, daily. Makes it easy to define each later.
Then I upload my tracks and any waypoints I have marked, back into Base Camp when I return. I am usually amazed at how little of an are gets covered, when it seems like I am humping all over the map.
Forums are a good source of info

Do you only have maps for Garmin? I just picked up a Magellan Explorist 310 (free with cc reward points)...
