These maps are 100% free! They are 1:24K equivalent topo maps for Garmin GPS units. I have found dirt driveways and drainage ditches on mine and am very happy with it. I had the Texas chip in an old unit that I lost and I have to say this map is as good as that chip, except the Texas chip allows for more manipulation on your computer. This one is South Central USA. It includes Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas. More details are at the bottom of the page. http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/102/This one is just Texas. http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/131/And for the Florida boys http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/123/If you need help loading it from your CPU to your GPS http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-maps-on-my-garmin-gps-unit/Oh yeah, you have to have a blank micro S/D card in your GPS unit in order to load it. Micro S/D cards are like $20 at Wal-Mart. Good luck fellas |

wait til you load it to your GPS, that takes about an hour and a half. *Make sure you set your sleep settings on your computer off*
We had to cross a deep bayou this weekend, the map showed a road crossing the bayou about 150 yards down and around a bend. We got to the road and there was a bridge going over the bayou. Not having to swim that bayou with the gators= priceless!!!!
FYI, I have used both of these maps and I personally think that the South Central map is the better of the two.

Nosights,
There is a detail setting in the map setup menu on the GPS unit. When you load the map it is on the normal setting, you can turn up the detail 2 more settings. I suggest you do this before you get in the field. However when you are zoomed out having it on this setting will make it take a sec to load

Did you follow the instructions at the bottom of the original post? You have to have MapSource installed inorder to load to your Astro unit. Try that, if that doesnt work then I will give you a call **Also you have to have a blank Micro S/D card in your Astro |
