I don't own this series, but since no one has answered your question, I'll try. The Topo maps appear when using 2D mode, not 3D (AFAIK). As far as photos (I've never used this feature on my Garmin), but I suspect you can take any picture you want and load it on your Garmin (just make sure they are small in size). Photo navigation I also haven't used. Check the Garmin manual (on line manual) for more info on this.

Not that I have been able to figure out. I still have been using MapMyRun to track that information.

Yes, arrow will show you the way. It wont show you a map, but I always carry a topo map as a back up to see the terrain features. . You wont go wrong with this little gps. If you have the money to buy a very expensive one with map features, like the one I have, go ahead and get it. But I got this for my f a ther in law who is a simpleton. He loves it

Just press the "&gt;" button at the top right of the map screen and it will revert to full-screen map view. To go back to the "cockpit view", press the "&lt;" button that is again at the top right of the full screen map. Same with the "routing" and "add poi" buttons - just press the \/ down arrow at the bottom right to display the buttons and then the /\ button to go back to the map screen... it becomes very intuitive in a short while. I LOVE my Mio C520...

IMO terrain view is the only view to have ... updates when you get them are to both terrain and standard maps as far as I can tell. On a dark road, I find the terrain view gives me a better idea of what to expect ahead during the times I have to drive slowly.Now, I like to look at views when its safe, but at night there's nothing to see, except what's via the Garmin. I traveled up an unfamiliar windy mountain road on a trip a few months after purchasing my 3790, and "saw" the canyons and rivers running nearby. I'm not talking about side views, but a pseudo topographical mode that gave me enough information to feel I wasn't entirely "in the dark" going thru an area I might never pass by again. But that's just me. :) IMO terrain view is the only view to have ... updates when you get them are to both terrain and standard maps as far as I can tell.

you can down load maps from any where and can set it up for any where no sd card it's extra, the topo maps show the hills and valley in color and streams roads

I think the best thing you can do for maps is to use Openstreetmaps--- go to DC rainmaker's site for instructions http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/01/garmin-edge-810-in-depth-review.html I use them often and they are free and work much better than garmins--depending on where you are riding. They do cover most spots on the planet that are mapped.

You can see the full route map by doing the following: - when on your route, touch the current route instructions shown at the top of the map. - This opens a view of each step in your route. - At the bottom of the display, there is a button in the middle of the screen called "Show Map". Press this button. - This opens your full route map from your current location to the end point.Hope this helps.

The Gpsmap 78sc has charts for Ca and Hi. Only the sc, not the other models.

Hi, The Terrain requires different hardware. We have a great kit for that and it's pretty much a plug & play installation. Check out Amazon # B00HG1TO7G Thanks!

I think they made the map system years ago, but they have updates that make it current, you can download for free.

Simple answer: No. You'll need to buy separately detailed topo maps. I use the Southeast US one, for example.

That doesn't appear to be an option. If they are obstructing your ability to see the routes driven, zooming in the map might be helpful.

You can tell the RoadMate 3030-LM to display Elevation on the main page, as well as speed, time, direction, eta, time remaining. You can select the item you want always displayed on the screen by touching that option from the pop up. These display options are only available when you are in a trip navigate mode. Otherwise, only Elevation, Time, Speed, and direction are available.The only place that I think Longitude/Latitude is displayed is from the Menu and you select Current Location, and there you will see your current Lon/Lat co-ordinates
