Hello. We are British and buying a truck and trailer for US travel for a few years. Mainly national parks. I am just looking at which maps to download onto my Garmin 700i, both for car navigation and walks.
Garmin City Navigator is 100$. The topo map, the same price or for more detail, it is the same price per region.
We’ll start off in the west.
We will probably at a future date, buy a RV specific gps, but we’ve used this successfully in other countries, so will start with the 700i.
In Africa, we downloaded specialist maps from a provider onto the Garmin 700i via Basecamp, as Garmin did not provide the level of detail we needed. We used Googlemaps when we were in towns. In the US, we will not be going into the hinterland, but maybe some gentle off-road. We are in our mid 60s, so not doing huge walks.
Please could people advise me which would be the best maps to download specifically on this device. I can just buy Garmin, but there might be a better and possibly cheaper solution.
Thank you for thoughts.
