I recently acquired a Garmin 705. However, I am yet to get any maps for it. Could someone give some feed back on the various types available? are the Garmin UK & Ire any good? Or is it better to go with the topo or memory maps?

Thanks,

    Your choices are Garmin City Navigator, Garmin Topo or Open Street Map. City Navigator are best for road use IMO. Open Street Map are free, but still not complete (nor are they particularly accurate in my part of the country). Topo for offroad.

    The 705 comes with a base map that is next to useless. You only get City Navigator if you buy a package that includes the maps. End of discussion :wink:
