Can I buy more detailed maps from Garmin and load them on this device?

I don't know about the eTrex 10, but for the eTrex 20 & 30 you can purchase extremely detailed world wide maps from Amazon & Ebay for a fraction of the cost you will pay if purchased directly from Garmin. I have an eTrex 30 and it is the best GPS I've ever owned. I have the mini United States, Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean maps card installed. It shows even the private driveways out in the country side. The vehicle mounts that work on the 20 & 30 won't work on the 10. The type that slides on the back of the unit.

You would need to check with Garmin. Note, I was in northern California and the standard download of the lower 48 states had forest service roads. I was impressed with the detail.

Do you mean gps? There's an option to export the data from the garmin connect page.

You should be able to just download/buy the maps for it, then just update the system, maybe?

You can buy maps directly from Garmin at http://www.garmin.com/us/maps. You can also purchase and download maps to your own card.

I don't know whether it will load or not. The map is really crappy and did not find a lot of the towns we went through. I was using a Garmin GPS and the base map that was loaded in the unit was much better than the one I bought. It was a total waste of money. Live and learn.

you load maps using the Garmin software, you must purchase the topo map cd and install it on your pc

I don't think Garmin has topo maps to most countries. Even if they did, you'd only be able to load a relatively small area as you're limited to 24 mb. There may be workarounds to use non Garmin maps, but they are beyond me.

You can add courses, at least. Step 1: http://www.marengo-ltd.com/map/ Plot course on map, putting in waypoints Step 2: convert from gpx format into crs format: http://www.gpsies.com/upload.do?uploadMode=convert Step 3: Import into Garmin Training Software (.crs files are only importable on PC at present time) Step 4: Upload course to device Make sure you have the latest version of the training software (later than March 7, 2007) or else the 'virtual training partner' feature might not work properly with your imported courses.

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

My garmin was loaded with the maps of Europe. I do not know how it was done because I bought it used from Amazon. Sorry that I can not answer your question. I questioned the seller to make sure it had european maps because I needed it for my vacation. I use to get the same GPS with my car rental from kemwel.com and they would give me the same garmin with european maps for $40. I go to Europe 2 times a year so I figured it would be cheaper to buy a GPS.

Yes! I inserted it and downloaded every map available from Garmin. No problems. Plus I have the other flash drive and the other memory card.Good deal.

No. That's a separate purchase. However the device can use the maps from OpenStreetMap. Plenty of instructions on the web on how to do it. I use OSM maps and they work fine.

Suggest you upgrade to a Garmin unit.... better maps, better customer support

Yes. What you need to do is to download the maps and you are ready to navigate.
