Screenshots

Below are a couple examples of this map on a Garmin 60csx:

Below is a picture of the map inside of Garmin BaseCamp:

This screenshot compares the Arizona Topo (v3.0) (left) to Garmin Topo U.S. 2008 (right). With the exception of the DEM shading you can see that the Arizona Topo is significantly more detailed and in this case has more current roads and better trail data.

Installation

Two options exist; for windows download and run setup. The map will then appear in and BaseCamp and can be added to your GPS by using BaseCamp's mapinstall and sending it to the GPSr. For Mac download the mac version, extract it and double click the .gmapi file.
