I currently have the Arizona Topo maps from loaded on my 780 along with City Navigator and they can both be selected and used at the same time. I wonder if the type of topo maps you are using makes any difference. I have both installed, but have to deselect either City Navigator or Topo to use the other. That has also been my experience, at least on the 750. But occasionally City Navigator is missing some Forest Roads, so a switch to the topo map helps me guide my vehicle to where I'm going. Final note: topo maps don't have routing built in so if a topo map is the only map selected, you can't have the nuvi plan a route from A to B via roadways.Īll in all, I use City Navigator most of the time on my nuvis, even when deep in National Forest roads. So to use the topo map, I must unselect City Navigator. With both City Navigator and a topo active, I only see City Navigator displayed. Are you saying that you can display City Navigator and a topo map simultaneously on your nuvi display? For me, to see the topo map, I need to unselect the City Navigator in my nuvi. I also run topo maps on my nuvi, both the Garmin Topo USA and the free more-detailed-than-Garmin Arizona topo map with topos loaded onto a SD card and City Navigator in the GPS's internal storage.

You'll also find good topo maps on that site for download to your GPS. There is an excellent tutorial for all of this at. The topo data will appear along with your normal City Navigator street data. You simply need to select both map sets on this screen and you should then be good to go. Both the preinstalled maps and the topo maps appear in Tools - Settings - Map - Map Info page of the Nuvi once you have loaded the Topo maps. I have used topo maps on 3 different Nuvi models without a great deal of trouble or effort.

Switching maps is usually done by disabling or enabling them in device (see manual how to disable/enable map). Otherwise gps tends to behave in strange manner. It is advised in case, when you have two maps for this same area, to disable one of them and use only one at the time. They may have troubles with routing, or tell you that route can't be find, especially when one maps covers smaller area. If you are using two maps of this same area it may be a problem for both devices.

Otherwise it is very good, and a few times i was using it instead of nuvi with good effect.

And screen is not very readable in full sun. Oregon is not exactly best choice for car gps, as it can plot route, but has problems with rerouting and doesn't "talk". They have as well roads and are routable, so can be used as car maps. I'm using topo/street maps on Oregon 400t (not Garmin maps). You can compare only devices designed for this same use. It is different kind of devices, so they can't be compared efficiently. I never run topo on Nuvi, as it is usually for trekking or outdoor activities and Nuvie simply doesn't have enough battery power to be of bigger use in this area.
