This is more of a preference type question I think. I like the city
navigator maps for routing me to/through unknown areas, like St. Chuck. On
a caching trip in another city, the autorouting is great! But, since you
have the Garmin Quest, you can use that to get you near the cache, and
just use the GPS for the "goto" to the cache.
If that's the case, then the topo's would give you what you need. Buy a 2
gig MicroSD card (about $20-25) and you can load the topos and ALL of City
Navigator on the card. Only problem with the topos is that they all won't
fit on the card because the limit is based on 2025 map segments. Since the
topos have much smaller segments, you will exceed the 2025 limit before
loading all the topos. One work-around is buy 2 or 3 1 gig cards and load
areas of the topos onto each card.
I've got a Nuvi for street routing but I still like using my GPS for
routing if I'm caching around town and not making a caching trip out of
town.

Thanks so much to all of you for helping. I had loaded onto two Garmins
before in 2007 with a coupon and wrongly assumed the same would work for
the CSx. Too bad some other company doesn't have maps for sale. Garmin
needs some competition. I was not trying to beat the system....just
understand it.
So I am in the market for a map program. What is the best one for
caching? Especially in strange cities and countryside. Don't need any
mountain scapes just yet :-)
Thanks again, guys. You really helped.

Version 7 and earlier had 2 unlock codes but starting with ver 8 and
then ver 2008 you only get 1 unlock code. It's kind of confusing because
Ver 8 was really 2007 maps and then they changed it to Ver 2008 for the
2008 maps.

I thought tho that you could install the maps on 2 devices with the one
unlock code.

Jeff is right. The Trip and Waypoint manager is not locked and
contains no maps. It is meant to transfer WP's, routes, and tracks
between mapsource and the GPS (both ways). Mapsource is the program
that handles the interface between the GPS and also any maps, such as
City Navigator. The older versions of the maps were called Metroguide.
That is why you can update mapsource free but the maps aren't updated
unless you buy an updated set of maps. They normally come out once a
year in August.
The current City Navigator maps only have 1 unlock code, and it's
assigned to your Quest, so you can't put in another unlock code and
load the maps on a different GPS. I think Garmin will sell you an
additional unlock code over the phone but it's about the same price as
just buying another copy, or about $100-125.
I don't know how you're going to get around that problem cheaply
because the unlock code(s) and GPS serial numbers are registered on
Garmin's website so it seems impossible to beat the system.
