Ditto on the 530 HCx....I picked mine up this past summer and it has worked spectacular...mapped several trails in the Uinta mtns. here in Utah on my way to lakes and streams. I got mine off Ebay for $499...but that also included a mini SD card and the 2008 Topo U.S. disc.....In the winter I do a lot of hiking and mountain climbing and really like the Garmin Rino 530HCX. It's a hand held GPS with color screen and a mini-SD card can hold tons of maps. It is also a weather radio, a FRS radio and a GMRS radio with a range of > 10 miles. It's handy for hiking as you can use it to communicate and it also logs your route via the use of capturing your movement every x seconds. I use the Garmin Topo 2008 mapping product on this unit. These things cost about $499 retails and $375 discount. It's also an altimeter, a thermometer, a compass, etc.. as well as a GPS.....
problem solved:My only wish is that the FJ would have continuous power... or a jack on the top of the dash for the GPS.
I hope they weren't lying, because I ordered the topo for Alaska.Thank you for contacting Garmin Cartography. The nuvi will display the
US Topo 2008 maps just fine. The only limitations are that the topo
maps do not support routing with any Garmin GPS and you can only search
for the topo POIs by name or by nearest. Also, you will not be able to
view the contour lines while in the 3D mode. Be sure to use the
MapViewer on our website to preview the data.
Please let me know if you have any other questions and thank you for
your interest in Garmin.
Regards,
Kim

Greetings,
I was wondering if you could tell me what limitations the nuvi 350 has
with the topo u.s. 2008 map.
