Loading these maps onto your device is fairly easy via BasecampWatch this video on BirdseyeHowever for hiking, topo images may be a better option than the satellite simply because they do not provide the detail we'd want. GET THE GEAR ON AMAZON.We dive into the kind of maps you can load onto your Garmin GPS device and Basecamp.There are 2 types of maps: paid vs free.Paid Maps: You can go and buy the various mapping products from Garmin, including the subscription service called Birdseye Imagery where you can choose between satellite or topo images. I am assuming that the Oregon 600 with faster processor should be able to handle it, but I really wanted to get the V5 to share with the two devices - one is currently using V3 and one with V4.Also, where did you get it from? I rang Johnny Appleseed GPS in Melbourne, and they said they won't get it until later in December.Have you found significant improvement in maps from the V4 to the V5? Is it worth the upgrade?Phyllocladus aspleniifoliusPosts: 652 Joined: Tue 28 Oct, 2014 5:31 pm Region: Other Country Gender: Male. How slow does the full version slow down the Etrex? I have my Etrex 30 and an Oregon 600. Took me 2 F'ing hours (USB 1.0) to load it onto my eTrex 20 because my lappy card reader won't read a 64G card!Map is so huge that screen redraws are now measured in minutes not secondsGarmin eTrex 20/30 are just SH1T really!This map goes to the Nuvi while the Lite version goes back onto the eTwreck, sheesh!If you don't need routing by road and only only use cross country (like walking) then perhaps the LITE version will not hobble your Etrex!I tried it, damn near froze my Etrex solid! Map redraws take ages, screen is crowded with guff and yes it does work better on the Car based GPS's.Conclusion: Garmin finally get off your fat and lazy arrrses and finally put out a handheld GPS that can handle the leviathanic map sizes you are producing.!-Garmin Topo AUS&NZ Lite version 5 here.
