Which map source software for Garmin works the best for Michigan and 2-tracks. It seemed that the city navigator had more two tracks listed then 2008 U.S. topo. What is everybody else using?

What's funny, is I've seen more two tracks listed in City Nav too, but I've found COMPLETE lakes, large lakes, missing on City Nav that are shown in topo.

What I do is use the original 64mb micro sd card that came with the unit and load City Nav, Topo and local sled trails only for the area I'll be riding in that day. That way I can toggle back and forth between City Nav and topo to find the 2 tracks.

Last winter my wife and I were riding in the UP just south and west of Paradise following the snowmobile trail on the gps. When we stopped I noticed on the gps that there was a bunch of seasonal roads coming up (had it set to City Nav). Boy was it a great feeling when we took off down those seasonal roads, knowing that we weren't going to get lost. And the best part was we were breaking trail!

Love the gps. But I also worry that the gps might get more people off the trail and onto private property. The version of topo that I have shows federal and state land shaded in green. Gives me confidence that I'm not pissing off some land owner.
