This product came with several maps preloaded, including the TOPO U.S. 100K. I ordered the DVD separately for the Topo U.S. 24K because it has four times smaller resolution. It contains everything you mentioned. I believe the DVD for the 24K was about $100+ extra. Once I got the DVD I initially could not figure how to load/download it to the 62st. Fortunately the Garmin support pointed to free software that I needed downloaded to my PC before using the DVD. Once the software and DVD were installed I was able to select a portion of the 24k map and transfer it to the 62st. I was disappointed with the resolution of the 100k but the 24K is quite detailed. Overall this unit has cost me more than I was planning to invest and has been less than impressive to use and fairly hard to learn. It took me a couple of weeks to figure how to translate the deed description of my property to GPS coordinates and then translate it further into the modified format used by Garmin. I also used Google maps to attempt to determine the coordinates for my property but note that again their format is different for how minutes and seconds of an angle are calculated. I ended up with four translations before I got to an accurate mapping of the 62st - it was quite frustrating for a while. Good luck. Perhaps you are more experienced with this type of equipment. It is my first, but I'm quite skilled with a map and compass. Using the unit through thick brush where I could neither see very far ahead or walk very far in a straight line was quite disappointing. Finally to locate one of my property boundaries it was actually necessary to revert to a compass and step off about 1/4 mile. Again perhaps this says more about me being a novice user than the actual unit and map.

It is preloaded with 1-100,000 scale, not the 1-24,000 scale which has far more detail. I suggest buying the 1-24,000 scale SD card which is true topo. .

I don't recall that name in the list of codes and maps included with this title. It does come with quite a lot.

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.

I think that it comes with basic charts however you need to purchase the charts separately in order to have high resolution charting. We bought this unit for our son so I am not 100% sure.

no, this from garmin's web page. " It comes in 2 mapping versions and has preloaded maps for the lower 48 states plus Hawaii and Puerto Rico, or full coverage of the U.S. and Canada. : https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/automotive/previous%20models/nuvi-40lm/prod100852.html

It has a fish finder and a very basic, general gps map. I would recommend buying an area specific e-card. This model does not have downscan imaging, but it does have a depth finder. As for this unit overall, I am very satisfied and do recommend it.

It comes with the basic charts but more detailed chats are available. I purchased the detailed charts for all of the Great Lakes that covers all of the St Lowrance and the East coast down to NY and up through the Hudson

It does come with maps; however, they may or may not be the latest. Garmin does allow you to update the maps once for free, but it does require a standard USB to mini-USB cable which is not provided. For more information visit the Garmin website.

No, it does not display street names, only the main ones and even then, very few. It does display the street you are on and the directions are very clear and repetitive, though. Oddly, I live in South Florida and it does show the name of every single canal and lake. I have no idea why the software developers thought those would be of high interest to the user and not the detailed names of the streets. It does come preloaded with mapping software, and you get one free upgrade with Garmin within 30 days of registering the device with them. Hope this helps, but you've probably already made your purchasing decision by now.

It did not come with an SD card but does have a slot for an SD card, and it does come preloaded with Lowrance maps

No U.S. costal charts are included. Only the base map is available. I believe that would be on the Navionics or Lakemaster addon chips.

Yes, anyway in the user manual there is a web site to download any map and software

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

Not clear if this comes preloaded with full European maps or not. Short description states it is loaded with North America & Europe but full description states only North America.

Yes. The elevation follows topo lines just like a regular topographical map. Also when you drag your cursor or set a waypoint it will have a drop-down box with elevation and other useful information.

Yes it does and is very easy to read. It will also show major roads and names as you expand the map
