No it does not come with the US topo map. You need to download it off of garmin

The base model soes not. You can buy a model that has the 100k topo maps installed

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

Maps for North America are already installed. They need to be updated periodically (~once a year) but the unit should come ready to use.

This product came with several maps preloaded, including the TOPO U.S. 100K. I ordered the DVD separately for the Topo U.S. 24K because it has four times smaller resolution. It contains everything you mentioned. I believe the DVD for the 24K was about $100+ extra. Once I got the DVD I initially could not figure how to load/download it to the 62st. Fortunately the Garmin support pointed to free software that I needed downloaded to my PC before using the DVD. Once the software and DVD were installed I was able to select a portion of the 24k map and transfer it to the 62st. I was disappointed with the resolution of the 100k but the 24K is quite detailed. Overall this unit has cost me more than I was planning to invest and has been less than impressive to use and fairly hard to learn. It took me a couple of weeks to figure how to translate the deed description of my property to GPS coordinates and then translate it further into the modified format used by Garmin. I also used Google maps to attempt to determine the coordinates for my property but note that again their format is different for how minutes and seconds of an angle are calculated. I ended up with four translations before I got to an accurate mapping of the 62st - it was quite frustrating for a while. Good luck. Perhaps you are more experienced with this type of equipment. It is my first, but I'm quite skilled with a map and compass. Using the unit through thick brush where I could neither see very far ahead or walk very far in a straight line was quite disappointing. Finally to locate one of my property boundaries it was actually necessary to revert to a compass and step off about 1/4 mile. Again perhaps this says more about me being a novice user than the actual unit and map.

No U.S. costal charts are included. Only the base map is available. I believe that would be on the Navionics or Lakemaster addon chips.

No, it doesn´t have any maps outside the United States (talking about Europe), but Puerto Rico appears. You'll have to purchase aditionals maps. No amigo, no tiene mapas que no sean de los Estados Unidos (hablando de Europa), pero Puerto Rico aparece en el que trae cargado. Todos los mapas adicionales debes comprarlos aparte.

No not as far as I know. Ours was loaded with a basic map of America and we had to purchase all the maps we wanted. Hope this helps.

No, and the map that comes with it is outdated even for US usage. This GPS doesn't hold up. I only got to use it once and then it blacked out on me and never came back on. Junk as far as I'm concerned. When and bought me a Tom Tom. I bought the DragonPad because it was cheap and you know the saying, you get what you pay for.

Yes, it has maps for US and Canada. Not Mexico, you have to buy that one and add it if you need it.

The topo map is only visible if you turn off the base map. I think it's Settings, Map, Map Info, then you touch the checkbox to un check it.However, you may not bother with all this, since the topos are much cruder than the old-fashioned paper maps.

Hello. unfortunately the maps will not work since they are programmed for the U.S. the unit will work, but the maps wont.

NO! very misleading. I bought this model last year for Germany trip and did not have a map package. Was too late when I got there so I spent a month without a gps.

Yes. The elevation follows topo lines just like a regular topographical map. Also when you drag your cursor or set a waypoint it will have a drop-down box with elevation and other useful information.

gpsfiledepot.com has a number of excellent free topo maps for different regions of the US. I've used the Souheast Topo United States and (3) Northeast Topo United States maps quite a bit. These don't seem to be actively updated. May be ~4yo. Others may be updated more often. Search on the website for maps of the states you need.
