Garmin High-Res Topo Maps Utah Montana And California

Montana Topo Maps

The purpose of this project is to create electronic topo maps for the state of Montana for Garmin GPS units with mapping capability.
Features
The mapset is created from freely available GIS data and has the following data layers:

- Interstates, highways, railroads, county, local and forest roads
- High resolution water data (lakes, rivers and streams)
- Land use, metro areas
- Elevation contours (40ft intervals)
- Points of interest (summits, mines, falls, dams, cemeteries, towers, populated places, etc.)

Coverage
The mapset covers the state of Montana.







Installation
The installation of the maps is fairly simple. The maps can be utilized from within Garmin's MapSource software (on PCs), Garmin's Bobcat/MapInstall software (on Macs) or simply uploaded directly to your GPS unit ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]).



Download
For use from within Garmin's MapSource (on PCs), download and execute the mapset installer below. This program will install the map files and register the mapset with MapSource. Within MapSource a new mapset product "Montana Topo Maps" will be available in the Product drop down selection list (or from the View | Switch to Product menu option).

Data Sources
The GIS data sets utilized for creating these maps were obtained from the following sources:

Natural Resource Information System (NRIS)

NRIS actively supports GIS coordination in the state of Montana and works hard to provide products and services to a diverse community of users. NRIS also contributes data to national efforts such as GeoSpatial One Stop and the National Map.

USGS National Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)

The GNIS is the Federal standard for geographic nomenclature. It contains information about physical and cultural geographic features of all types in the United States, associated areas, and Antarctica, current and historical.

USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD)

The NHD is a comprehensive set of digital spatial data that contains information about surface water features such as lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, springs and wells. While initially based on 1:100,000-scale data, the NHD is designed to incorporate and encourage the development of higher resolution data required by many users.

USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED)
