Camping, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The contour aspect of the map is fantastic: there is a lot of information. However, the profile map is more decorative than accurate. Obviously any elevation changes can be read from the contour map but I think a profile map gives you a better indicator of what you are in for. Also, if water sources were incorporated into the map it would be a truly great product. Overall, it is a good product and all that it is really missing is the water sources.
