Garmin World Map v4

Anybody tried it yet? Any better / worse that the previous versions?

TVMIA

I've loaded one into my GPS few days ago.

Detail is relatively poor, main roads, main towns, etc, certainly not for trail-road seekers. But then again, it's a good compromize between size and detail. Takes around 150-190MB whole World into your GPS (in comparison: US of America full map is 4-8GB for example, so you know how much detail there is in 200MB covering the whole World).

Did I mention Estonian town names are a humor in World map v4?

Anyways, hopefully it keeps me "mildly" on track for my future travels - just don't have enough £££ to spend for each third-world country I'm visiting... and I'd prefer to have smaller roads + trail roads marked everywhere.

So I'll always keep my proper paper detailed maps and compass with me tho.

Thanks for that. One use I'm going to use if for is when I got to the Falklands in just over a week.

There's not too many roads there, but I fancy using the GPS to see how many miles there is to go to ASI and then MPN

My new Zumo550 seems to have this already loaded as a base map. e.g. I can zoom in to New Zealand or Seth Effrica. Unless, of course, they've vastly improved "World Map" from my old version.
