Do I have to purchase topo maps for fenix 7 or 7s standard edition?

If I purchase a fenix 7 or 7s standard edition do I have to pay an additional fee to get topo maps or is it just a matter of downloading the maps?

Note that there are two different types of "topo" maps. The - as Garmin Chris already explained - topoACTIVE maps, which are based on openstreetmap data, and the "real" topo maps, which contain official survey data. The "real" topo maps and updates must be purchased.

topoActive, that come with the watch :
