Note that free Garmin-compatable 24k topos of AZ and NM are available here:

I have the AZ map and it works well with Mapsource, my nuvi and my eTrex. If I ever need the NM version, I'd surely try this one first:

Guess I should have asked first...

Thanks for those links CraigW. I have sent a "Cancel order" email to Garmin and will give those a try. I wasn't looking forward to paying $100 bucks for each map set I need. I see they already have 6 of the 7 states I want.

Besides being free (or still cheaper than the Garmin preloaded SD card even if you make a generous donation for these free maps), another advantage to these maps is that they will load to Mapsource on your PC as well as be available via SD card to your GPS which makes them quite versatile--I gather that the Garmin SD cards with preloaded maps can't be transferred to you computer and Mapsource. And for those with more than one GPS, multiple copies on SD cards can be made to avoid the need to swap cards between GPSes.

Installing the maps to Mapsource on your PC should be quite simple as well as making maps to download to a SD card after you download the map .exe file and run it. If you've got a question about the procedure, just ask. Check back with the map website, too, as there may be updated map versions avialable there for you in the future.
