So I have a garmin rino 530 GPS and I want to get some topo maps to put on it but I'm not sure which ones to get. I do a lot of backpacking out west but normally in national forests. They have a national parks package but I didn't see any national forests named on there. Any suggestions?

National Forests are on the Garmin National Parks 1:20k, what areas specifically and I can look and see for sure if they are included.

If you could give me a link to the info on it I'll go ahead and do the leg work. Couldn't find a link to buy it and I didnt see it on garmins website, but then again maybe im just brain dead from tests this week!

I don't really have a link for the info, but I've got the National Parks installed on my comp for my 60CSx

So do all the national parks maps have national forest? Because then i'd just get the west and central maps and that would cover it all.

I don't know, really all I was going off was Mark Twain National Forest being on the Central. I didn't really pay attention to other areas because I haven't had a need.

Here is a screenshot of the coverage area of the National Parks West. It has 1:24k topos for everything inside those grey boxes.Image
