Am I the only one that thinks Inland Lakes is flawed?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin MapSource Inland Lakes Continental United States Freshwater Map DVD (Windows) (Electronics)
I bought this software for my Garmin Etrex Vista HCx GPS mainly for use while kayaking in Minnesota and Wisconsin. After checking the maps of lakes that are among the more fully detailed, however, I find them not up to par for my mapping needs, and I don't have the option of using another company's map program with my Garmin GPS since the format is proprietary.I knew ahead of time that only about 8% of Minnesota's 15,000 lakes were represented, and not all 1200 lakes included in the software were shown in great detail. I wasn't happy about that, but at least I knew about it up front. The most glaring omissions in Inland Lakes is where the map fails to show connections between some lakes in a chain, such as where Lake Calhoun connects with Lake of the Isles via canal in Minneapolis, rivers that connect to lakes but not on the map, such as where the Sauk River connects to Kraus Lake near Cold Spring MN, and rivers that are missing sections on the map where in reality they are contiguous, like the Sauk River again, between Cold Spring and the Mississippi River. If you are exploring inland lakes and rivers with these maps in your GPS, you would likely also need other maps that fill in the gaps in the electronic map. To me, if Garmin is going to charge as much as they do for a map, the lakes and rivers they include should at least be accurate. If I get in trouble in the wilderness while kayaking, an accurate map is a must. At the very least it is expected. Paper maps have less errors. Because of these issues I am thinking of buying a Delorme PN-40 GPS which comes STANDARD with Topo USA including topographic, lake and street maps, and comes with a $100 credit toward their USGS Quad maps, aerial and satellite maps for about the same cost as my Garmin Vista HCx and one set of flawed optional maps. That way if one map isn't 100% accurate, I can check another one to fill in the blanks, and I'm quite sure that between Delorme's standard topographic and lake maps, I'll be able to find more than 1200 lakes in Minnesota. I'll have an even better chance of finding those hidden lakes with USGS Quad, aerial and satellite maps at my fingertips. So in summation, I've found Garmin's Inland Lakes maps to be useful, but it's not as precise as I need it to be. That's too bad, because I like my Garmin Vista HCx GPS. Yet if I'd known about the flaws I found ahead of time, I never would have bought the maps or the GPS from Garmin. I'm still using the two for now, but I'll be checking Google Maps or Google Earth first, before I leave on a trip.

Great Product,

I've got a Garmin 478 w/ all the coast charts included. US Inland Lakes completes the charts for all US and coastal waters. It's a great product with much detail.The first concern is that not all lakes are represented on the CD. It's best to check the Garmin site to see if your lakes are included. The other concern is that the US Inland Lakes data is so big, that it does not fit on one 512Meg data card... Even with these two concerns, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Many errors in Central New York,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Garmin MapSource Inland Lakes Continental United States Freshwater Map DVD (Windows) (Electronics)
I bought this product for use on my boat with my GPSMap60CSx. The first time I used it, it showed my boat traveling on land near the water. This didn't happen with TOPO US. I compared the two programs and found that US Inland Lakes had a lot of location errors in my area. I have found places where it shows roads running "in" the water. I sent an error report to Garmin. Even if they correct the problem on future versions, people who bought this disc are stuck with the errors. It can't be depended on for navigation in my area , at least. You could easily run aground believing you were in deeper water. If the reviews had an option to insert photos, I would add a couple screen shots of the errors.
