I tried chit-chat with little luck so hopefully someone can please help me.

I just purchased the eTrex Venture CX and need to find a memory card (to dl maps to it) and also some software that gives me very detailed maps.

my biggest question is which software do I get for it? I've been all over their website and the internet can't hardly tell the difference between some of the software available. could someone please help?

I need to know what mapping software would work the best (looking for the most detailed mapping if possible). I will be using it for wheelin (tracking trails and whatnot), but also using if for day to day navigation for directions and stuff.

hopefully someone has some experience with some of the handheld Garmins and will know what works best.

thanks for your time.

Been using a garmin rino 120 with garmin's Mapsource u.s. topo software. I've been very happy with it, but I haven't compared it to other software.
