My 67i came with TopoActive North America. I live in MD and was wondering if the TopoActive for North east would be of any value of I already have the Topo active North America.

Where are you seeing TopoActive Northeast as an option?
I don't see that as an option on my 67i. I see these maps for sale on Garmin and was wondering if it would be of any value for me to purchase the below since I live in MD or if the TopoActive North America contains the same info. I've also purchased the Outdoor Maps+ so wasn't sure if that would essentially give me the same information as the Topo. I'm very new to this ecosystem so I'm sure I could be speaking giberish.
The GPSMAP 67i comes preloaded with TopoActive mapping. The quality of the coverage will depend on the region. Urban areas will typically be more developed while coverage in rural areas may not be very good. TopoActive Maps are a Garmin OpenStreetMap Product. Scale detail can vary from 1:24K or better in major urban areas to much higher scales in more rural areas. For more information on the preloaded mapping, please see TopoActive Maps on GPSMAP Handhelds.
The TOPO US 24K series provides more consistent topographic information than the TopoActive mapping, specifically a 1:24K scale map of the entire region. It also allows for navigation in the automobile, motorcycle, and ATV/off road driving activity types, something which is not supported for the TopoActive maps. You may find the comparisons at Choosing and Purchasing a Map for Your Outdoor Handheld helpful.
Also note that TopoActive comes with the unit. Topo 24k Northeast costs money.
