The latest version of TOPO US 24K

Former Member over 8 years ago

I have an old version of TOPO US 24K West. It doesn't give a version but the maps say Navteq 2008. Does anyone know what the latest version is and year released? Does it have significantly more trails and updated info from my old 2008 version?

Thanks,

I wouldn't bet on it. Most of the contour, roads, and cultural information on the 24 K maps is 30 to 50 years old. I'm still using TOPO USA from 1998 and it often proves to be more accurate than later maps. (As well as showing many roads that no longer exist in usable form.) Save your $.

I would contact Garmin and ask them. Current versions of 24k topo maps are only available by download or sd card and are tied to a single unit. I would ask them what version of road data comes with the current version, whether the maps can be upgraded (likely will only upgrade roads/poi's) and whether or not it comes with lifetime upgrades - if not what upgrades cost if available.

I suspect the terrain data has not changed much if at all.

Rocky_TFS, I see you are still using Topo USA. Are you using Windows 10? I have Topo USA as well but can't get it to install in Windows 10. Any tips? I loved and used that program a lot! Nothing today to compare.

That thread was 4 years old so not sure you'll get an answer from Rocky. Someone here might know though.
