Features: CDrom or Memory Card ?

These products provide very detailed topographic maps of Switzerland, see examples below. They are available on two different media: CDrom and µSD/SD memory card. What are the differences ?

The CDrom has the advantage that the detailed maps are installable on a computer where they can be used independant of the GPS or the memory card. On the other hand, the maps must be unlocked for a particular GPS device - you can unlock the maps for two devices. In addition, the detailed maps must be transferred from the computer to the GPS device, which might require a significant amount of time, depending on the amount of data you wish to transfer.

The µSD/SD memory card has the advantage that the maps are immediately available as soon as you plug in the memory card. In addition, you may use the maps on any number of devices, but only on one device at the time. The GPS has to have a SD or µSD slot. The data is stored on a µSD memory card, but an µSD-to-SD adapter is included. In order to use the maps on a computer, the free software BaseCamp must be installed and you must connect the GPS with the computer using the USB cable, see also MapSource versus BaseCamp. If your computer has a slot for an SD memory card, you may plug in the card into the computer directly, which provides faster access to the data.

CDroms come with Swiss Topo V2, memory cards with Swiss Topo V3. The information on the maps are identical - topographic map of Switzerland with elevation contours and natural features plus official hiking and biking routes which are clearly marked and indicated by their number or name plus support for autorouting. The only difference is the additional grid pattern view in V3, see images.

Note: Version 3 is only supported by the models Dakota 20, Edge 800, etrex 20/30, GPSmap62/62s/62st, GPSmap78/78s and by all models of the Montana and the Oregon series.

If you install the memory card in a GPS or transfer maps to a GPS which supports maps, the following features will be added:

If you install the software from a CDrom or connect the GPS with a computer rsp. insert the memory card in a computer where BaseCamp is installed, you can use the following features:

System requirements for versions on CDrom see here. Topo Switzerland is only supported on Windows computers. This product does not include a cable for data exchange with a PC. If you need such a connection cable, see our selection of options.

A very helpful supplement to the program MapSource is the software GARMIN BaseCamp, see www.garmin.com/support/mappingsw.jsp. This is especially true if you are using a GPS from one of the following model series: Colorado, Dakota, Montana, Oregon or GPSmap 62.
