And you can't beat the price of the GPSFileDepot maps (free). It makes more sense to use the Nuvi for the driving part, but it's kinda cool to be able to do it with the Etrex if needed. Then switch back to pedestrian mode for geocaching. The Garmin map is routable, so I can switch the Etrex to Automotive mode and get turn by turn directions to the parking lot of a forest preserve, for example. I like them both, and often switch between the two. I have both the Garmin 24k Topo and the topo maps from GPSFileDepot. The built in base mape for the eTrex is garbage, but the hardware is great for hiking. However, maybe I'll try it if I've got someone else in the car. I'm not thrilled with that size screen in the car, and the lack of audible routing. This is something that BaseCamp fails at. The trails are bright red, and sit on top of the Florida Topo map. The My Trails map works really well with the Florida Topo map. One of the good things about the eTrex is that you can use multiple maps at the same time.
(He also includes parking lots and other such items if he's got them.) That way, the next time he updates the map it will be even better. If possible, send him a GPX file of the trail you hiked.
If you go hiking and either the trail isn't on his map or if there are issues with his map (such as rerouting, etc.), please send him your information. However, as the author has stated, many of the trails are at a very low resolution or based upon tracing other maps.

Is the quality of the Garmin maps really better than the free Florida Topo map? Several people commented that they use Garmin's 24K maps instead. I've been using the Florida Topo map from GPSFileDepot ( ).
