Topo or topographical maps

Topo or topographical maps show the topography (land contours) using contour lines. This can aid in showing elevation change (and rate of change) in a particular area.

People use them primarily when off-road. Hiking, biking, atv-ing, etc.

on my sp 7200 topos only

on my sp 7200 topos only show point elevation no contour lines kinda strange but then again garmin says the 7200 doesnt support topo.
